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 -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: http://www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ http://www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
