Posted November 9, 200816 yr Whilst gazing at my XP Home ed. desktop, looking for an icon, (there's only about 42 icons on my desktop but, at my age - I have to look at them for ages in order to locate the one I want!), I noticed a desktop icon labelled :- Document Scrap '????????????????...' ...where ???????????????? is my Credit Card No. !!! ....now, I do often copy and paste my CC No. into various places e.g. banking website SSL login page, and a small number of website SSL pages where I buy things. ...and it's copied from a Word document, (MS Office 2000 - Word), ....so considering that I'm as sure as I can be, that my internet security has not been compromised, ...any idea how this appeared on my desktop, and where it came from ? ...my first guess that it was dumped there by Word ....maybe something to do with the temporary files that Word creates every time one opens a Word *.doc ??? ....any thoughts muchly appreciated, regards, Richard
