Re: Thinkpad 701Cs Hidden File



Yes, that is an os/2 file, and you can delete it.  

You can call the 800 numbe and they will walk you through it, here is 
what I remember of it....

You will have to use the attrib command on it, 

attrib -r -s -h ea*.sys  

and then I think you will have to del ea*?sys

to get rid of it, it needs the wildcards to delete it.

Good luck, like I said, call the 800 line and they will walk you through it..
