   Try going into safe mode, delete that file, then create a subfolder using   
   the exact name. i.e.   
      
     c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\fidbox.dat   
      
   If whichever software is creating that file doesn't complain and doesn't   
   delete that subfolder and replace it with a file, it'll never eat the disk   
   space again.
