Get rid of Web Folders


Recommended Posts

Here's a little tip I found a while ago.

If you never use Web Folders (does anyone?) run webfolders.msi to uninstall it, then delete the install package, which if I remeber correctly resides in the system32 directory. Although I've always done it manually, I believe it can be removed silently.

My apologies for the incorrect name. :)

That's what happens when you try to post in the middle of a killer hangover (what a fantastic night though :rolleyes: )

The silent uninstall is:

msiexec /x c:windows\system32\webfldrs.msi /qn

The path may need to be modified for your system.

Two things: first, WTF is Web Folders anyway? I've seen it in the Uninstall section but never known what it actually does.

Second, is there an INF file that can be edited so it's never installed in the first place (and by extension, a list of files that can be deleted from the XP CD).
