DISKTO.SYS - Which Program Created It?

[munckman]

I think one of my programs has created this file. I'm just curious if anyone has this file (DISKTO.SYS) listed in any of their non-system partitions. Googled - nothing; Zip, Zilch. I'm at a loss because google shut me down so fast! It was created about 2 weeks ago. It is present on both of my 2 networked computers. They are different sizes. One is 7 and the other is 12 meg.

Look in your different root partitions if you are so inclined. Google has never given me results like this for me before.

i haven't used windows for a couple of years so sorry if this sounds a bit stupid, but can't you right-click it and have a look through the properties of the file?

if not you can try opening it with a hexeditor. this is a cool program you can use to find out more about a file, it has an hexeditor too -

or you could try using a monitoring program that will show what's using the driver (are sys files drivers? i forgot) here's a program that might do that -

maybe it's used to help copy files from one HDD to another???

Did you or do you have ShadowDefender installed. That file is it's driver.

Thanks iceni60 and Peter2150,

I tried FileAlyzer. Still there was no info for this file. I used Autoruns and it showed DISKT.SYS instead of DISKT0.SYS on the system partition but not on the other partitions. Pete I did have Shadow Defender installed but instead of uninstalling it I deleted the snapshot so those .SYS in the non-system partitions were leftovers. I installed SD again and then uninstalled and they are gone.

Thanks again :thumb:
