Xerox\nwwia directories

[Rahul]

Hi

I found the following directory c:\Program Files\xerox\
nwwia in my computer. Using a maintenance software I
found the directory linked to winlogon.exe file. The
directory is read only and cannot be deleted.

Doing some search on the web, I found there were various
comments of it being a bug, a virus, etc. Please can
someone tell me what exactly is this directory. Is it
linked or created by default during installation of XP.

Those are two empty folders that are standard with XP. Just leave them
alone and ignore them.

This from Paul Thurrott, a Windows expert...=20
"Both of those folders are actually installed by Windows XP and can't =
(at
least theoretically) be removed. The frontpage folder is for backwards
compatibility--some versions of Windows 9x included a FrontPage Express
program for Web editing and it seems that some apps rely on that folder
being there for some reason. The xerox folder is used by the imaging
software in XP, as Microsoft licensed some of the tech from Xerox. My
understanding is that it's used as scratch space."
