What are these *.chk files? Can I view the contents of the files? (wordpad and notepad just show jibberish.) Can I safely delete these files? You can probably delete these. I've never been able to retrieve any useful info from them. These are lost clusters formed when your system has crashed. You could look at them in notepad, but unless you know where they came from - they're useless. Sounds like your system needs a spring cleaning. Especially if you're getting that error of too many files in the root directory. Backup all data, Fdisk, Format and re-install Windows fresh. I know that sounds like a tremendous amount of work, but the aggravation of a poorly running system is much more costly. Orygun
