WILCO. But remember on my friend's system it keeps on manifesting itself no matter how many times he deletes it. Tried to upload it as attachment but site doesn't allows to do so, so tell me the other way.

pdoxusrs.net is a file normally used by the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to store file and record locking information when a database is shared over a network.

If more than one user requires access to a database file then the engine must have a way of recording which file and record is being accessed so two people cannot change information at the same time and cause a conflict in the stored information.

All users of the database must have access to the same pdoxusers.net file.

You often find this file if a program has installed the BDE program on your computer. It (as far as I know) is harmless and should be left alone.
