Hi there,

I got confused every time I open folders like Programs or WINDOWS in any
windows operating system(s). So many subfolders contained therein. Are they
arranged in a certain logic? I know folder Programs includes some third pary
softwars, and folder Windows includes all system files. But what these
subfolders shall contain? Are there any tips to distinguish among these
folders and subfolders?
And what they exactly represent? Are their existence necessary? Could I
delete them?

Pls help.

Thks.

Mingman
