It was DesertCombat Mod for BattleField. 541MB to be exact. Luckily, some higher power (earthlink) granted me the blessing of DSL a while ago. Took me less than a hour.

Still, completely annoying.

Try looking in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

(substitute your username for Scott) next time and see if it's still in there. I'm not sure if Windows deletes the file or not from the original location when you hit cancel on the copy.

I also think you can use TweakUI to prevent applications from Stealing the Focus on events.

Sorry to hear you had to re-download the file though..

Yeah xp sux but I finaly gave in for the nice login screen and the fact that it was the only OS I can find the disk for right now. But hey I have 98 and 2k3 on this comp as well so if I get pissed at XP I can just load a dif OS.
