File Name Warning: There is a file or folder on your computer called c:\program causing problems. Rename?
Posted on June 26th, 2009
Have seen the following error while logging onto a server:
File Name Warning
There is a file or folder on your computer called “c:\program” which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to “c:\program1″ would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?
Rename | Ignore

This error occurred on a server that has previously been a Citrix License server and the tool lmdiag.exe had been run on the server creating the following file:
program
in the root of the c: drive.
Opening this file in notepad shows:
lmdiag – Copyright (c) 1989-2006 Macrovision Europe Ltd. and/or Macrovision Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

To resolve the problem, simply remove or rename the file
It seems that lmdiag has a bug or coding error which generated this rogue file.
