lws Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi, can someone tell me what %SystemDrive% is. It appeared on my desktop as a folder containing 9 other folders, all empty. I don't know what I may have done to cause this to appear on my desktop. Does it belong somewhere else or can I delete it. Any help will be appreciated.

Yzöwl Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 The directories should technically be safe to remove, however you need to know how they came to be there.My guess is something running from the Desktop was unable to expand the environment variable at run time. This could indicate problems with your system, simply a one-off or a problem with its creation software.What were all the sub-folders named?

lws Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Would uninstalling a program have caused this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
