I was using my flash drive today when I noticed a strange file - a BOOTEX text file - had magically appeared. It seems to have coincided with a Windows update that I had just completed. Is this something that I need to be concerned about? If this is a bad thing, are there steps I can take to avoid these. Also, if bad, how do I search and destroy? Thanks in advance for any info. I guess what seems wierd is how the thing got on my flash drive. Wierd...

Looks like it is a log file created by chkdsk. Google is thine friend (http://www.google.com/search?&q=BOOTEX).
