Every so often, I find that I have an invisible file Lesktop with type
FNDR and creator ERIK (same as Desktop) in the top folder of a volume. 
Since Lesktop is invisible, I only see it from Disktop.  I've
encountered this file on hard drives and on floppies. 

Who creates this file and under what circumstances? Deleting it seems to
cause no problems.  I haven't noticed any system problems that I could
reasonably attribute to the presence of this file. 

I have an instance of Lesktop on one of my partitions that was created
on 5/13 around 3PM; I recall using the Mac about that time.  The last
time I rebuilt the Desktop on that partition was months before (if
ever).  Poking around in Lesktop with ResEdit reveals a structure
similar to Desktop. 

I'm running 6.0.5 on a IIcx with 5MB and an internal 105MB drive
partitioned with Silverlining. 

Thanks for any info.

Barry
