Anyone of you brain boxes shed light on this one.
I keep getting a shortcut on my desktop which says BLANK and when I open it with Word I get this.

# Helix Cookie File

No real problem just puzzling.

It's associated with RealPlayer and websites that contain content from Real. Try getting rid of Real Player and using Realplayer Alternative.

if your using XP try start / all programmes / accessories / system tools / system restore and then pick a date to restore the system to when the shortcut didn't appear

real player is awful software (some people have to use it to listen to some streams though).I would lose it and use winamp instead.

Cheers, I do use Adaware, C r a p Cleaner and Registry Mechanic, I'll give them a run through and see if it works.
