Re: confused

Try searching the Registry for the folder's name. Do you see any clues? It
appears that the folder is the default location for for a program's
function, or possibly part of the path to one of your shell (special)
folders.

Re: confused

I should add, that to search the Registry, collapse the left-hand pane
entries, in the Registry Editor, until you only see "Computer". Then click
on Edit in the menu, then Find. Type the name of the folder in the Find
box. You can use your F3 key to keep going to each subsequent "find next"
entry.
