Let's try this again. PA Bear was asking you what this has to do with

Windows Update. You do realize you're posting this to the Windows Update

newsgroup, don't you? Your question has nothing to do with Windows Update.

If I were you, the first thing I would do is ...........Research



Yahoo

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=watch.wtc&ei=UTF-8&fr=hp-pvdt





Google is your friend, the best way to search is using Google Groups Advanced

newsgroup search at





http://groups.google.com/groups/sea...as_ugroup=&as_usubject=&as_uauthors=&safe=off



Bing

http://www.bing.com/search?mkt=en-us&setlang=en-us&q=watch.wtc+file+&form=MSSBMN



Good luck

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3 WinXP 64-bit SP2

Vista SP1 Vista 64-bit SP2 Win7 Win7 64-bit) when posting in a forum or

newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

Did you notice the file after a specific Windows Update. If so, which one.

If not, your post has nothing to do with Windows Update. Have you googled

"watch.wtc" to see if anything turned up? I have. This is the most common

answer:



"This file type is a standard encrypted Watertec database and can be

accessed and read only by the import/export facility within Watertec.

Watertec is a software program utilized only by large companies,

organizations, groups and councils. The Watertec software and database is

not available to the general public."



What you read below this is called a signature.
