file called ~ on desktop

Windows uses ~ for temporary file name allocation...
Whats probably happening is that a file is being created for some reason and then not being deleted properly.
Theres almost certaintly a fix, please hold caller...
...ah ha!
That file is most probably appearing as the result of installing the "April 2003, Cumulative Patch for Outlook Express (330994)". Microsoft is aware of the problem and is supposedly working on a fix. Many people are experiencing this problem and from what I've read about this problem that icon will also reappear when you reply to an e-mail and you have your Outlook Express set up to enter the persons e-mail address to your address book whenever you reply to an e-mail. You can either just put up with it or follow the uninstall directions for the patch at this location.
Good old Microsoft
