Post by unforgiven »

Hi All,

I have on mine pc, three directory's with a rare name like: 3e445ty6e3829dnd9347rn9nddn

Iff I wanne delete them, I get access denied, only as administrator, or program is in use.

the directory's have all RTF files in them, and all what I try, the stay on mine PC.

I never put a password or anything else on mine pc

Thanks in advance JW

those are typically temp directories used by Windows updates that were automatically downloaded, but not installed. Try seeing if you have any new Windows updates that need to be installed.

those folders has SYSTEM access only, neither Administrator or any kind of other user can manipulate them. I think you should be able to add more users with full permissions tho.
