This new folder is usually found burried within a totally unrelated folder within the main "My Documents" folder. This time I found it in a subfolder within a subfolder of folder used to horde downloaded fonts and it contained some 270 files. (this is a reltively small number)
I am running Xp SP2 with all relevant updates...cant find any malware etc and no other quirks. My user account is not affected.
The only potential link I could think of is that it may be related to the sheer size of the "My Pictures" folder in question or that the default "My Documents" folder is located on a different partition from the OS.
Any ideas would be great! Particularly if there is a solution to stop it happening.
Cheers
Jock

Jock,
I have seen this before with folders alot bigger - like 5GB + however, from past experience, this is *sometimes* caused by something going wrong in the other users accounts.
What I would do is:
Creat another account for your partner, move everything accross to that new account and delete the old account and monitor it. I would also suggest backing up photos to a USB Pen aswell if possible!
