I didn't know what this file was in the beginning. I have ben having problems always working my system. It would reboot every 5 minutes or less. I searched the task manager to find RcMan.exe i found it extremely suspitious. i ended the process from it running. My computer has been working as usual for over 3 hours now. So i bet that was the fault. For all i know it could have affected my bootup log, hardware or i could have corrupted my files on the harddrives from the extremely sporadic and constant reboots that either fully logged into windows or would freze during startup or not start up.
