View Full Version : A file extension about which I've found no conclusive info on the net

I was cloning my HDD the other day and when cloning had finished, I got this message. "This file was in use, so it would not have been safe to copy it." The file was \\?\C:\Windows\System32\lqoe89kr.lwp.

This was (is) weird. I have no clue as to the \\? preceding the path. Could that have caused the message?

I did a search for the file type but didn't learn much. Only that...

lwp may mean "library for www in Perl". Perl, I learned ws a cross-programming language.

LWP (lwp) could stand for a Lotus Word Pro 96-97 file. But is Lotus even used today...I never hear of it.

Has anyone any clue as to what this file is intended to do or what the extension means for sure?
