Re: Folders within John Folder

Comparing creation date to your recent activity will probably indicate their
origin. You use Windows Live mail, so it's not a newsreader, but there are
lots of apps that use temp folders.

Folders within John Folder

I am running Vista Ultimate on my laptop and have noticed a lot of folders
appearing in what used to be My Documents. They look like this
{7eb54fe3-071b.....................} Some are empty and others have sub
folders. I assumed they are something to do with the installation of
hardware and perhaps software. My question is can they be safely deleted?

thanks

JohnP

Re: Folders within John Folder

Since you can run the successful install again, and you want to find out, I
can see no real consequence, beyond a little extra work if they happen to be
needed. I would think they were not, anyway.

thanks for that. It tells me that they are temp files and having looked at
them I can see they are connected to the installation of my lexmark printer
and Nokia phone PC Suite. Thing is, is it safe to delete them now ??
