SYMPTOMS
When you create a .UDL file from the context menu or you edit a .UDL through the Properties context menu, the .UDL file disappears from the disk when you change and save the .UDL file.



CAUSE
A virus scanner program is running.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use any of the following methods:
 * Edit the .UDL file by double-clicking the .UDL file.


 * Choose Open instead of Properties from the context menu.


 * Disable your virus scanner while you modify the .UDL files.
