winsxs folder on non-boot partition
Yesterday a new Windows folder was created on my D: drive. The directory
structure under the Windows folder is: winsxs Policies x86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b _x-ww_77c24773 There is a winsxs folder in the Windows folder on my C: drive. I am aware of the purpose of the winsxs folder and its contents on my C: drive. Why would one have been created on my D: drive? The Windows folder on my D: drive and its contents seem to have been created at the same time that I updated Adober Acrobat to version 7.1.0. There is a x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727. 163_x-ww_681e29fb folder in the winsxs on my C: drive with the same date and time as the folders created on my D: drive. Peter |

winsxs folder on non-boot partition
Hello Peter,
I have had the same experience, and apparently for the identical reason, except that in my case the winsxs folder etc. was made on my computer's E: drive. That's the last place I would want it, as that is a hot-swappable SATA drive that is not always in the computer. I really need to move that folder to C:. Any idea how?
