    "Local Disk" folder in Music Library


    If I go to the music library, then Sample Music, which has 3 sample files, it also has a folder named local disk.

    Its empty, but right clicking and viewing properties shows it has 3 files and 4 folders, and is 400 bytes in size. It was created during the OSs install date, and is shared.


    What is the purpose of this folder? I have hidden files to be showed enabled.

    What do you mean by that?


    It said it was created a year ago, and at the date my os was installed. Was it an error? And what are the folders/files in it?
