Odd Directory in XP

[danrow_99]

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\{209C5FA4-5595-421C-846D-FD4A36F8AC22}

contains loads of sub-directories most containing dll files

Anyone know what this is?

I *think* its remains of Windows Update patches. Can't be sure though.

Definitely Windows update temp files. Safe to delete.

Another quick tip while I'm at it:

Look in the C:Windows folder and open a folder called "Prefetch".

This is where files you have used build up in a sort of library of shortcuts to allegedly speed things up. It works for a while but soon gets cluttered.

Delete everything in it, run a disk clean up then a defrag and finally restart your machine. Your boot up times will improve no end.

Trust me....I'm a doctor!
