Thank you very much for the quick response. &nbsp;I went through the Microsoft KB article, which was very helpful. &nbsp;I could delete all but three of the items:<br />
<br />
1 .BLF file<br />
2 .REGTRANS-MS<br />
<br />
They could also not be deleted in Safe Mode.<br />
<br />
What is the next step?<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance, Aadih.<br />

Aadih -

Thank you very much for the quick response.  I went through the Microsoft KB article, which was very helpful.  I could delete all but three of the items:

1 .BLF file
2 .REGTRANS-MS

They could also not be deleted in Safe Mode.

What is the next step?

Thank you in advance, Aadih.
