hi all :)

I have had this file in my root folder for ages but can't remember if it was there after i installed win2k in 1st place.

Basically this is a txt file that just has multiple entries
that say "windows renabled"

If i delete the file --it gets created again.

Can some1 please tell me what this is?

(the virus scanner says that it is ok ;)

Probably some sort of anti cheat software. Half life anti cheats liek to make files int eh root directory.

Its safe to delete.

Yep, I think it's the latest patch for Half-Life that is creating this file, I have one in c:\ root.
