Hello @MaterLuporum,

 

I understand your concern about finding an unfamiliar file in the InDesign folder. The `KickStart.exe` file is a legitimate part of Adobe InDesign’s installation and is safe to have in your folder. It’s typically related to the startup process of the application, helping to initialize certain components when you launch the program. 

There’s no need to worry—it’s a normal part of the software's operation. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help!

 

Thank you,
