Hello all, I am using windows 2000 In order to keep backups of all data on my small system I have backed up all files to a removable drive ( including the program files folder) This removable drive only acts as a repository for files and doesnt boot up or act as a system folder for ant programs that are run. I have mapped this folder as L: On this drive i have a folder called "programfilesbackup " and my backup program copies the files from My "c: \program files " folder onto this backup folder every time i do a backup. I notice many folders called " installation information" in this folder. Will if be safe to delete these folders ( I doubt if I will ever have to do an uninstall on the L:) Observations and suggestions are sincerely appreciated best regards fred evans -- -- Would'nt it be nice if:- Computers,printers,modems,consoles etc had a built-in compartment or tray in which to keep all the books and software for that piece of equipment
