Hello again,



ORIGINAL POSTING

I'm wondering about this folder in my Windows directory called
"RegisteredPackages" ... 54 MB and inside are 20 folders with long number=
ed
names. I don't know what this folder is for, even after googling it, and =
I
find different opinions regarding delete or no delete. Right now I have t=
hat
folder in a "Hold" folder that I keep on the desktop (waiting to see what
happens). Everything is working fine on the computer so what do PCTechTal=
k
members know about "Registered Packages" and do I need it?



In addition, I also have this folder in C:\hp (hp is an invisible folder)=
.
One of the inside folders is called "Drivers" and 70 MB. I put that folde=
r,
too, in my desktop "Hold" folder to see what happens (before deleting it)=
,
and all is working well. What is that "Drivers" folder for, and of course=
,
do I need it?



Seems neither one is necessary as they've been moved with no ill effects =
to
the computer --- Harold



RESPONSES:

Lil writes ...  I don't know about the Registered Packages, but couldn't =
hp
stand for Hewlett Packard (drivers)? Just a thought

Joyce writes ... Norton popped up a message saying my e-mail would not go
and I needed to go to the sent folder and re-send. Why would it do that?



And again, I write ... What do these responses have to do wth my question=
?
All I want to know is, in a Compaq/Hewlett Packard Pressario computer, us=
ing
Windows XP:

1. What is the purpose of "RegisteredPackages" found in the Windows
directolry, and



2. What is the purpose of the "Drivers" folder found in C:\hp?



3. And do I need them? I ask,  "do I need them" because I currently have
them in a "waiting to see what happens" folder (which I call "Hold" and
which I keep on my desktop), and with those folders moved, all continues =
to
be working perfectly well with the computer (after having moved those two
folders to "Hold").



Again, what are those two folders, and do I need them? (it appears I don'=
t
since moving them makes no difference)--- Harold
