Well, thanks a *lot* for providing the requested "comprehensive
explanation" of the Searches folder. Now, I understand *perfectly* why
deleting the contents of C:\Users\System User\Searches\Everywhere will
apparently delete every file on my C, D, E, and F drives without even
throwing up a single UAC message requiring me to at least click
"Continue." What kind of security is this?
