Hello again (using a Compaq Presario and Windows XP), ORIGINAL I'm wondering about this folder in my Windows directory called "RegisteredPackages" ... 54 MB and inside are 20 folders with long numbered 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 that 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 PCTechTalk 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 folder, 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 LIL'S RESPONSE I don't know about the Registered Packages, but couldn't hp stand for Hewlett Packard (drivers)? Just a thought...--- Lil MY RESPONSE I know hp stands for Hewlett Packard ... the question is what are those two folders needed for? I've moved both out of their original directories, and all seems to be working in top shape. Compaq-Hewlett Packard seems to be none the worse (Help is working, even Tour, which I don't need, is working), so is there any reason I should be keeping them? --- 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/
