    What are these folders for?


    Hi,

    I have a question. What are these folders for:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Device Metadata

    and inside: \dmrccache\downloads
    \dmrccache\dmrc.idx

    C:\Windows\System32\%LOCALAPPDATA%

    an inside: \%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Device Metadata\dmrccache\downloads
    \%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Device Metadata\dmrc.idx

    When I delete the %LOCALAPPDATA%, it shows up again when I plug flash disk for example.

    Thank you
      My Computer

I was wondering if there's a way to sort file folders and shortcut folders so they are listed together, as in previous OS versions. I find it frustrating that 7 has forced the shortcuts to be split up into their own category rather than their file properties. I prefer to sort my folders by type,...
