That's why I emailed the list...to remind me of any brain farts I may have had. I hadn't checked to show hidden system files. Thar she blows. I have a file .onetoc2 all over the place on this drive. Apparently this belongs to an office app. Why would this be a hidden SYSTEM file let alone a hidden file I have no idea. Doing a search now I find a ton of these files on the drive, a quick google search and I can't find out why. Thanks Reid for the help.
