    I don't actually need any help, but I'm curious. Does anyone know what the hidden folder '.comments' is on my desktop?

    Theres a compressed xml file in there, named after a date & time. The entire file is:
    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<Comment format="2.0"><Place/><Time>0</Time><Note/><Keywords>Film</Keywords></Comment>
    I googled it, but kept getting millions of pages with the word 'comments'.

    Reminds me of a style sheet, is that the only one there?

    Yes.

    It came from uploading pictures to my computer. Explains why I haven't noticed it before now. I left the 'comments' field blank when uploading.
