Ok, this is a wierd one...

I run a lab of Win2k machines. Users connect to Novell servers for login and authentication. The Novell server copies the users roaming profile to the windows box, and deletes it when the user logs out. That all works reasonably well...

But it leaves a folder behind, that is not a part of the users profile. In the documents and settings folder, it creates a folder called "/username/istrator" for every user who logs in, even the administrator! So if user eslee logs in, it creates and leaves a folder called esleeistrator that contains only fake Administrative Tools folder. See http://www3.hmc.edu/~bbassage/img/istrator1.jpg for a picture.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this? It is floodingmy Doc and Sets folder with junk!! All suggestions appreciated.

Sounds like a virus ... update your definitions, boot into safe mode and run your antivirus software or run it in DOS at bootup if that is an option. Hope this helps.
