What is a boot.bed file?

I noticed today, that I had two wierd file locations. One is the normal boot.ini which for some reason can still be seen and not hidden under system files. The boot.ini says it got modified, don't know how, I opened it, seems normal. But it wasn't hidden nor read only, so I set it hidden and read only, still makes it be seen and not hidden since I have the folder options not to show operating system files.

The other file is called boot.bed , I don't know what that is and had never seen it before.

Any idea what that boot.bed files is?

I believe this is a file that comes by after installing BootXp. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I have it too. I wonder why it's not applying the hidden/read-only properties to the boot.ini file. But check up on BootXP.

What is bootxp anyways? But thanks for the help, due to other circumstances, I had to reformat my hard drive, so I have a clean install of windows now.
