Unattended installation creates some new folders

[faithlezz]

Hi

I successfully installed Windows XP Pro SP1 with unattended mode (OEM) and it works like charm. However I notice that with unattended installation, Windows XP creates some weird folders in my C: drive, something like:

C:\3ef4c6d4f7031c8a7b84c16f1d4563

C:\9ab4c717f3eef85ef646e658331a913d

C:\396858e544581

C:\d4b5ca9da12d1f5e2344f6416

What are these folders for? How come I can't delete them?

I don't see these folders when I do normal installation.

Can someone help?

Thanks

Some hotfixes (if not all) extract files before installation begins. Those folders are the result of the extraction.

If you are installing silently, use the /q /u /n /z switches.
