What is this new "l2schemas" folder?
 

After I installed SP3 for XP (I'm running the Home Edition), I noticed a
new folder: c:\windows\l2schemas

My copy of Firefox 3 started doing weird things after a while (fields
were the wrong size on websites like Google, so I couldn't enter search
terms). After trying several other tactics (rebooting, reinstalling FF3,
etc.) I backed up and deleted the l2schemas folder and the problems with
FF3 went away. Then, I restored the folder, and strangely enough the
problem didn't come back.

I've looked and looked to find out what this l2schemas folder is
supposed to be for, but can find absolutely NO information about it. I
detest and hate not knowing what something on my system is for. Can
anybody please explain this folder?

TIA.

They are OS XML files for various communication settings/configurations.

They should NOT affect FireFox as FireFox does not interpret them.

Thanks for the info. However, can you lead me to where I can find more
specific information about them? For instance, are they entirely
necessary to have on my system? I have a single-account, non-LANed
computer hooked up to the internet with a CAT-5 cable modem.

FWICS, I don't even need the folder and there's not even the remotest
chance that I ever will, since I loath wireless and don't allow anybody
to touch my computer.

I would definitely appreciate more information about the files in that
folder.

They are neccessary and that's why the exist.

The data set is small so removal is not needed.

This data structure is carried onto Vista and the following TechNet forum thread is some
indication of it requirement.

Sorry, but that's not much of an answer. And I'm not altogether sure
that they ARE necessary. I deleted the folder and have suffered no ill
effects at all. I just don't like having a bunch of undefined stuff on
my computer that does nothing for *me*.

The data set is small so removal is not needed.

I prefer to remove it regardless, and have done so.

Thanks but as I said, David, I loath wireless and will never have it.
However, I don't have an account with MS Technet, so I can't view the
thread anyway. And even further, I don't have (and never *will* have)
Vista, or else I wouldn't be posting in this XP newsgroup.

Thanks anyway for replying though.

John, it is your computer you can do with it as you like. However, what you did is
contraindicated and you may not have ileffects now but, you may later.

Some of the schemas deal with the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and the
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) .

Rule of thumb...

NEVER delete OS constructs of which you don't understand what they are.

I have them well backed up. However, so far no problems.

Hey !!
No te lo tomes tan a pecho, lo que pasa es que no conozco muy bien estos lenguajes y solo estaba tratando por que no podÃ*a cambiar mi fuente predeterminada, solo es eso!

Conoces alguna pagina web donde me pueda informar bien? si si, te lo agradecerÃ*a mucho!

Gracias.
