Default C Windows profiles user application data

94 clicks JUST for directories! My God!! What on earth could be in
there!?! (Well, I'm sure I wouldn't know what to do with them, anyhow--
not THAT many!)

That's interesting SpyBot didn't put new .logs in there, but what
version did you run? I guess it's the new one, because v1.2 wasn't
updating any more. Did it put a new log into the other (Default) folder,
uh, "C:\WINDOWS\Application Data"? What are your settings for the .logs?

Could be nothing new will go to the Profiles folder, then, because you
disabled it. (But I don't know how that works.)

scan....

| |
| | 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.
