| | File in Windows\System32 I have 2 files in the windows\system32 folder. On is: 7B296FB0-376B-497e-B012-9C450E1B7327-2P-1.C7483456-A289-439d-8115-601632D005A0 The other one is similar. Can I delete these files? Because of the length of the files I'm only able to see 2 column of files in the system32 folder. It make navigation difficult. Thanks, James |
