Hi, Caryl.
Yes. Just delete that Q3.dir file dated 2002. It apparently is only an
artifact of Quicken's past lives. ;<)
For years, Quicken always created that file, but we never really knew why.
In fact, it often created multiple versions of the file, scattered among
several different folders. I hadn't looked for it recently until you raised
the question. Now I see that I have only 4 such files, all dated 1996 and
2004, so it must have stopped doing that somewhere along the way and I never
noticed. Even when Q was creating such files as fast as we could delete
them, nobody ever reported any ill effects from deleting a Q3.dir file.
