it's a subdirectory inside the windows folder

Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

oh, and it is 'hidden'

set your folder options to 'show all files'

Double click My Computer, click on your properties where you installed Vista go to disk cleanup and it will bring up a dialog box that has something like get rid of old windows. Click that box and say ok. It will get rid of the Windows.Old file.
