    What's the original purpose of this image file in Windows?

    Why was it planted?

    Why are you so fixated on these small images?
    Everybody seems to have them as noted in your last posting.
    If it's drive space, then you have bigger problems than the few thousand bytes these
    images take up.
    And unless in your system they are growing beyond reasonable, then there isn't really any
    cause for concerned.

    Did you look at that image? I don't think
    it has any place in SYSTEM32. Just curious
    why it's there.

    The ones I have opened are the common warnings, icons, images, etc that
    you see in Windows. ie the update icon arrows in a circle.
