File is created in "My Documents" upon shutdown

Post by plinknatord »

Running HD Sentinel Pro 3.50 (4376). With HD Sentinel running, when I shut down Windows XP, a file is created in the "My Documents" folder. When I open the file in Notepad I see statements such as "SM_SHUTTINGDOWN", "SM_SHUTTINGDOWN (2)", and "Cleaning up, closing". The file has an unusual name because it is one character long in the shape of a square. That filename is problematic because it causes search and sync functions to crash.

If I close HD Sentinel BEFORE shutting down windows the problem file is not created.

Is there a way to stop the creation of this problem "square" file rather than me having to manually close HD Sentinel before shutting Windows down? Thank you very much.

Thanks for your attention.
Excuse me for the issue, this may happen on some systems when detecting unusual shutdown conditions.
Of course, it will be fixed in the next version.

Yes thank you. Please provide an update because this issue is very annoying it causes the sync of "My Documents" folder to fail.
