The Rules On Posting On Here ?
Law0 min ago
In my Documents and Settings folder, I have folders called LocalService, LocalService.NT AUTHORITY (2 of those!), NetworkService, NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY (2 of those as well) and I don't know what they're for, any of them, or whether they're needed. They have subfolders inside, but they're virtually empty, and they're named Application Data, Cookies, Local Settings.
Am I safe to delete them, or will I cause havoc with my system? I know I could just leave well alone, but I just don't like having unnecessary clutter, even though I'm not short of hard disk space.
If anyone could let me know what these folders are, or how they came to be here, I'd appreciate it.
(I'm running XP Pro, by the way)
Thanks!

I think you're right though, not worth the risk of deleting something if you're not absolutely sure it's safe to do so. I think I'll just try to come to terms with the clutter and maybe sign up for some counselling to overcome my OCD!
