I just got an old computer with a 5gig hard drive that had Windows 98
installed. I bought and installed the Windows XP upgrade and everything
works fine. Going through my files (C drive ) I noticed a folder that
says
Win98. Can this folder be deleted ? Contains a lot of cabinet files
among
other things. About 700 files and 130Mb total.
Thanks for any help
