Default C Windows profiles user application data

I didn't think it would be that much. How about just...?...
DIR /s /ad /on C:\Windows\Profiles

| How much of that do you want to see? I had to do a DIR /s /a /on
| C:\Windows\Profiles | more
| because there were so many DOS "pages".

| I see. You did the "disable" but not the "remove". So, you clicked,
"All

not

EVERYTHING

| outside that folder. But I really don't know. Do a run of SpyBot, &

SpyBot's

works. If

to
| Profiles\.
|
| I wonder what is in that folder...
|
| 1. "START, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt"
| 2. DIR /s /a /on C:\Windows\Profiles
| 3. Use the "MARK", outline with mouse, "COPY" button to post it.

let

| | As far as SpyBot, I'm just not sure I want it back.
