Vista Tutorial - winsxs

04-10-2008

In my C:\Windows directory I've got a folder named "winsxs." I've also
noticed that it is approaching 6 gb (yes gigabytes) in size. Do I need all
these files contained in this folder? I used a duplicate file finder on that
folder and found that there are many duplicate files (contents) contained
within that folder. Dare I delete any of these? Just leave it alone?

Have you heard about The Google? Even the US's Moron-In-Chief uses it.
