    Weird folder


    Hey guys,

    I've got a problem I'll go into My Documents library and I always have this weird microsoft (name is always lowercase) folder. I'll delete it and it will just keep coming back.

    Looks like it's created by the Windows Live Sign-in Assistant. Possibly when usig the live mail client or any other live application.

    It gets recreated everyt ime I launch live mail.

    You're welcome.
    I just exited out of live mail and deleted it, recycled it, and kept the window open. I then started live mail and it popped up. So if it's the same as mine then it's 'live' related

    You could always right click it and go to properties and just make it hidden.

    The normal foldler for windows live mail storage is C:\Users\<account>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail.

    Have you checked to see whats inside the folder?

    Mine is always empty, and like I said, I don't think it's limited to live mail but possibly to all live programs.

    It may have something to do with a feature I just havent used yet or maybe a feature live mail does not use that other live programs do.

    Doesn't seem like there is any need to worry about it.

    I had someone a LONG time ago tell trying to explain to me how EVIL Microsoft was because he kept deleting this weird IP address from his routing table and "Microsoft" kept putting it back! He was sure that the address was used to spy on this internet traffic. Can you guess what that address was? :)
