Hello again, Thanks for the response. After digging a little bit deeper I think these may be Windows error reporting folders. Some are empty but some have 1 or 2 files in them that look something like this (some application).exe.hdmp (some application).exe.mdmp Some have a text document in the folder marked appcompat. I just dont want to send something away that I might need. Any other help might get you chocolate chip cookies or apple pie. Thanks again. Jeff
