| | 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. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface. http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/locales...eAPostAsAnswer Mark L. Ferguson ..

| | Re: Folders within John Folder Mark 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.
