Hellas, my first post. I hope I won't be poked for it...
Anyways, I'm really annoyed about some folders which are auto-created by windows at the "DefaultProgramsDir(x86)" and x64
(These path you can change in the registry, to choose another defult location that "c:\Programm files" etc...)
I changed it to "D:\Programs_32" and "D:\Programs_64" and windows creates all the time empty folder in the new default path, with no content or empty folders in it.
I mean these:
* D:\Programs_32\msn gaming zone * D:\Programs_32\movie maker * D:\Programs_32\outlook express * D:\Programs_32\windows nt * D:\Programs_64\outlook express * D:\Programs_64\windows nt
Well, they don't harm anyone, but it is annoying, that i can't delete them.
A second thing i don't understand is, why do all default programs have the property "Execute at" set to "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"
If i change the DefaultProgramsDir to something else, i'll get as a result broken links/icons in the startmenu, until i started these programs once.
Maybe someone else is annoyed by this, and can give me a hint to fix these things.
Get rid of these auto-created folders.
