This only happens on WinNT FAT. This is an "Extended Attributes"
system file. Geoffrey Noer has stated that 19.2 will have the option
of turning the use of this file on or off with the default be off. I
don't know the scheduling of when to expect it.
There is no method to get rid of this file as yet. To help control
the size of this file, use the file explorer/manager to delete the
files. I have NT FAT also and I've noticed that the more you
create/delete the bigger it gets. I've also noticed that using the
Win32 means of deletion instead of "rm" shrinks the file.
