I just installed Windows monthly updates. After that i noticed, that there was new folder on my H: drive and inside that folder was file msxml4-KB927978-enu.log. I'm just wondering why it was putted on that drive instead of C: drive where OS is installed?

Did you move your Temp file to drive H:? That's about all I can think of.

A positive attitude won't solve all your problems, but it will annoy just enough people to be worth the effort.

I had two of those log files as well on my E partition. I deleted them with no problems...

Your question prompted me to do a search, having just installed these updates. Mine is on the D drive, in it's own newly created folder, for no apparent reason. OS is on the C drive.
Anyone think it's safe to delete? Or will there be a reason.

Anyway, it's just a log file, so i think it's safe to delete. I deleted it.

Thank you.
I did the update and upon the required restart of the PC it came to my Desktop but the taskbar never materialized. I had to hit the power button.
Upo restart all was fine but I never sw any such folder.
