"_files" folders and related foldersHello
An off-topic question... The "_files" are folders created by web browsers when saving web documents. If the main file (.htm or etc) is deleted, these folders are also deleted, right? Are there any other kind of folder names which react similar to these "_files"? "Faraz Azhar" <itz_fa***@hotmail.com> wrote in message I wouldn't think so.

I'm assuming it's the same under Windows Playskool (aka XP). -- Reply to the group so all can participate VB.Net: "Fool me once..."

I had used it marginally at client locations before then, but never cared for it much. I "bit the bullet" because it just became necessary to test apps I wrote under it. But, after having it installed at home for a few months now, I like it OK (and even use it as my OS of choice). Granted, I've customized various things quite a bit to "feel" closer to Win2000. At least MS provided that capability. -- Mike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic

Ok I understand the '_files' folders' behavior. Are there any other
kind of folders which behave the same way? "Faraz Azhar" <itz_fa***@hotmail.com> wrote in message Well, since the Folder Options dialog refers to "Managing pairs of Web news:1129767242.837900.53010@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Ok I understand the '_files' folders' behavior.

Since I don't see a filesystem group I'm going to suggest microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
