Do you realize that we are talking about several thousand folders.

You should be fine, but if you want you can run SFC to check the integrity of your system files.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

I only have 4 folders within C:/ ... was wondering if others who also have a fresh install of windows 7 ultmiate 32bit could also list these folders in here :)

TIA.

Well mine is 64 bit, but that only leaves one extra folder, your folders on C (I mean the Root directory not Subfolders) should be

Perflogs
Program Files
Users
Windows

I believe so, my setup is a little more convuluted, I also have a Program Files (x86) due to 64 bit compatibility. and a folder called Nvidia because I slipstreamed my Graphic drivers into the install, there is also a hidden folder called ProgramData but that cannot be seen on default settings.

If you want to see all folders, you have to enable the hidden files and folders in Explorer > Organize > Folder and Search options > View tab.
