Hello,
I wonder where this file comes from, what it is: "PDOXUSRS.NET". It is located in the root of my hard drive. I've never seen it before. Is it useful, can I delete it??

Thank you for your help

    Good evening! :-)

    Found on Google: here is the link

    Locking Paradox databases in a multi-user network environment

    It seems logical to seek to lock database files in a network environment. [...]
    To solve these problems, Paradox introduced a special locking mechanism, which is a network control file, PDOXUSRS.NET. This file contains the names of users of BDE (Borland Database Engine) as well as the tables currently in use. This is how NiceLabel knows which tables are in use by other users and prevents them from being modified at the same time. It also serves as a reference for all lock files created by Paradox.

    A++++
