Guest Zo Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 I now have 150 of the question folder starting with .400 thru .403 and then they began over with BDO1.400 etc. Some are empty but the ones that have files in them are exactly the same. Which of these folders are safe to delete and why are they being created? tia -- Zo "2 wire mesh butchering gloves: 1 5-finger, 1 3-finger, pair: $15"

This *should* be deleted when the floppy is ready. Did you (try to) create a floppy much times? (BTW WINEBD stands for Windows Emergency Boot Disk) It should be safe to delete them all.

Thanks for the reply. These files have been accumulating for quite some time and I just noticed them while trying to free up some space on my drive. After some further research through Google, I discovered that the original folder for this is located in the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND folder. Again thanks for the reply. -- Zo "Auto Repair Service.
