A new file just appeared on my hard drive. (Maybe it has
been there before, somewhere else; in any case I just
discovered it.) Its name is:

401accd9293d12eaf4

Does this mean anything to anyone here? Should I worry
about this? Any insight appreciated. Thanks.

I opened the file in Notepad (which lists it as
"msxml4-KB927978-enu.log") and the first several lines seem
to support what you say. They read:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Does that provide any more useful information? What are the
risks of deleting this 235 KB file?

It's a log file from the update. Flush it if it doesn't interest you,
read it, if it does. :-)
