Whenever I create a new folder in any of my directories, it is not being named New Folder,but it is being named after a bird. The names of four folders I have just created are: oriole, starling, seagull and quail. Can this be due to a virus or can I change any Windows configuration to fix this problem? Shiladitya Mallik
JS: I'd never heard of this and, of course, suspected an extremely obscure virus. However, a web search found the query had also come up at Castlecops, where it says:
After two days of relentless searching, I finally found a post on another site about this issue. The bizarre bird names given to new Windows directories are not the result of malware activity, but are a context menu feature installed with a freeware compression utility called AlZip. The bird names can be easily disabled within the software by turning off "Create new folders" under Context Menu in the Configuration dialog box.
