<plug>
If the file is marked PROTECTED, and if you have De-Frag/X from
Lund Performance Solutions, then give me a call
at (408) 252-2330 and I'll step you through purging them (De-Frag/X
has some tools that make this easy).

Due to the risks of incorrectly purging files that *shouldn't*
be purged, I'm not posting the info directly.
