I was prowl ling in the documents and settings today and under default
user Wallpaper there was 366 empty directories dated for every day of
the month starting back 366 days from today. I did delete them and
there does not seem to be any ill effects, however I am wondering what
the reason for them being there in the first place.
Any takers on this one.
By the way this is on two computers that I have set up as a network
with hub.

No idea. It's not something Windows would do on its own. Sounds like someone
was trying to setup a wallpaper cycling program? Maybe one that downloads
wallpapers from the internet since the folders were created but empty?
