Comment:
I have a system checker that everytime I run it ,it list the xyz. folder as a dangerous entry that could cause problems with my PC. I followed the instuctions and deleted it once ,however apprently it recreates itself when you reboot ,in the folder the details are hard to figure out ,it has someting to do with SeCEdit(security settings ?) ? Anyone have any exprience with this folder an what exactly its uses are. I have googled the xyz folder and recieved some hits however they do more to confuse then answer and ? about if this is a nessary file or not ?? Sometimes these third party system analizers will have you remove a needed WinXP component ?
Thank You ,Nick
