Why do I keep getting a Program Files (x86) (x86) folde
I keep having to delete this Program Folder which is somehow reappearing but contains no programs in it. For some reason, I see an empty My Documents folder in there which seems to be created when I open Microsoft Word. Why is this happening? I know there is supposed to be a Programs folder and Programs (x86) folder, but why this third folder?
Thanks. |

I believe I either deleted the My Documents folder from the original location or moved it to another. Is this a problem?

I recently installed an x64 version of Windows 7 Enterprise and used the Windows Easy Transfer utility. I have noticed that a number of my toolbar shortcuts (that I created myself under Windows XP Pro) have modified the "Start in:" for the shortcut to "Program Files (x86) (x86)". If the program you are running automatically creates its "Start in:" folder if it doesn't exist then this is what may be causing your problem as well. This would appear to be a bug in Microsoft's Windows Easy Transfer program when moving from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS.
