Re: Unknown file... that seems necessary???

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Installed any Microsoft Office programs on that date?
Microsoft Office Setup dumps a setup hive on a drive and continues setup
from there; at the end of Setup you are asked but advised against,
removing the temporary setup files by the Setup program.
The hive dumped on your disk by Microsoft Office Setup will have a
numeric name.
Also, Service Pack installs dump similar folders on your drive.

Recently I noticed this file on one of my (I call) storage HDs. The
name of the folder is: af0c1a5429da86c8cb32ad10fc9655c3. There is one
folder in it's tree called: i386. There are 2732 files in 102 folders
that ocupy 244 mb space. The files are "Read Only"

The file seems to have been created on Wed. 10-10-07 @ 3:54:47pm. I
did not create this folder. Most of the files in it have incomplete
file extentions ie: .dl_ and are for the most part unrecognizable.
Some are .exe files and are somehow connected to MS FrontPage.

I have no clue??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
