| | .frx files preventing backup I use Windows Messenger in Windows XP. My PC Backup keeps failing, and reports that this is due to 6 files that it cannot backup. These six files are all in the format: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\MY_EMAIL@xxxxxx\SharingMetadata\MY_FRIENDS_EMAIL@xxxxxx\DFSR\Staging\CS{53BE73AB-596D-5679-5813-03C490B105BE}\17\17-{60452617-D0A3-4F87-964D-6F84F24F906F}-v17-{60452617-D0A3-4F87-964D-6F84F24F906F}-v17-Downloaded.frx Could you please advise on the best action to take - can I safely delete these files from my PC? |

| | Re: .frx files preventing backup Greetings Julia, Yep, this is just part of the Sharing Folders database for that particular contact. You can either delete it manually yourself or just remove their sharing folder from within Messenger. It's probably failing because you have Messenger open, but it's useless data anyway unless you have pending incomplete files in that sharing folder. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.
