Moderators rridgely Posted December 4, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2005 Thats just part of Internet Explorer. As far as I know their is no way of getting rid of it for good.(I'm sure someone will prove me wrong.) Its not really doing anything so I never went to great lengths to get rid of it.(just know its supposed to be there and their is nothing to worry about.)

Moderators Andavari Posted December 5, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's just like some other system created folders, you can delete them as often as you want and they'll reappear. I went through the creation of the My Pictures folder in My Documents I don't know how many times on my Win98 system after I updated to IE6.
