shrug-l: Pesky .SHP and .SHX

[Tripp Corbin]

Yes it is a lock file. I believe normally associated with a File GDB.

 

I know the SHX extension is used by other programs such as AutoCAD. It is a
font file. I suppose that could be used to encapsulate a virus.

Keith,

 

Great question - I can't answer that one, but do you (or anyone) have any
idea what a ".sr.lock" file might be?  Seems like it might be a schema lock
under ArcMAP 10.

 

Bret.

Hey Shruggers,

 

Who out there loves it when files are stripped from emails? I certainly do,
especially the ones listed above.

 

Can anyone describe to me what threat either of these types of files pose to
a corporate network when received via email?

 

Thanks
