All,

Do you remember which open handle utility creates the nthandle.sys file? I keep 
removing the nthandle.sys file, but some process keeps recreating it. 

I don't recall installing any open handle programs except for oh.exe from the Win 2k 
resource kit and handlex as well as process explorer from sysinternals. 

I even used bintext to see if any strings within the file would provide any clues, but 
this is all I got. 

!This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Rich-zc .text h.data .reloc |Af9;t<VS WQRQj 
SVWUj t ;t$$t VC20XC00U RtlFreeAnsiString strncpy RtlUnicodeStringToAnsiString

\Device\NtHandle \DosDevices\NtHandle 

I tried looking for nthandle.dbg, but I wasn't able to find it. I even turned on the 
audit settings for the nthandle.sys file, but nothing turns up in my event log even 
though this file gets recreated on a random basis.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
