It will cause problems if you deleted them. You can however delete the contents of these folders like you do in your username folders in the Start menu. It would be safe to delete the Sample folders inside of them if you do not want them anymore. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Re: Is it safe? I certainly would not since it is often used for sharing files if the need does arrive or other users on the computer might be using it, I would simply ignore since its not really in the users way. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "NiC" <there@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:82F0C4E2-24D2-4119-9E05-FA03807F0478@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I was just wondering if it is safe to delete the Public folder in Vista > Home Basic.
