Recently when synchronizing my iDisk I notice some odd files being apparently synchronized. These are not files of my making nor can they be found anywhere on the iDisk or my computer. Any clues to what is going on here would be appreciated. These files are prefixed with numbers such as 33 as in '33--#$!@%#--spacer.gif' . I have not noticed at what number they start at or end but there are dozen of them. I don't know what the process of synchronizing involves but do wonder why sometimes the information displayed at the bottom of the window suggest that files which have not moved or been change for days are being synchronize (presumably copied). Apart from wanting to better understand what is going on I'm also a bit fed up with the time it is taking to synch files. I used to leave automatic synch on which made the whole process wonderfully seamless but it payed havoc with windows in list view so I gave up. Any clues to the causes of this odd behavior would be appreciated. Jan
