Dear WO'N: I deleted the file before you posted hoax notice. But I am not unhappy
Here is Microsoft Knowledge Base statement about effects of deleting it:
"If you follow the e-mail message instructions and delete this file, you do not
have to recover it unless you use Microsoft Visual J++ 1.1 to develop Java
programs on Windows XP, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 Second Edition,
Windows 98, or Windows 95."

Since I don't use Microsoft Visual, and don't know enough to develop a Java program, I can forget it.
I think you can too.
