Default C Windows profiles user application data

Yeah, I'm still in there "chopping and cutting". So, when I have it to a
manageable size I'll let you know. It'll still be large. Basically they have
the following:
C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\user\Application Data (207 folders - 1,004 files - 231
MB) has 13 folders and some 8 sundry files.
Folders include:
ACD Systems (6 folders -64 files -23.1 MB),
Adobe (11 folders -11 files - 3.13 MB)
AdobeUM (empty)
CoreCodec (1 folder -19 files. Thought I had gotten rid of that.. Well, I
did now) ;-))
Google (1 folder -empty)
Identities (24 folders - 145 files - 191 MB)
InterTrust (1 folder -empty)
Macromedia (8 folders -4 files - 636 bytes)
Microsoft (116 folders -568 files - 11.9 MB)
PestPatrol (empty)
Roxio (1 folder -4 files - 414 KB)
Spybot (5 folders -61 files - 764 KB) (Logs folder is now empty)
Sun (22 folders - 139 files - 372 KB)

The above differs slightly from that of C:\Windows\Application Data (209
Folders -1,213 files - 239 MB) Items listed are where differences are shown:
Adobe (11 folders -11 files - 3.11 MB)
Identities (24 folders - 144 files - 191 MB)
Macromedia (9 folders - 5 files - 720 bytes)
Microsoft (116 folders - 620 files - 11.0 MB)
Spybot (6 folders -78 files - 9.91 MB)
Sun (22 folders - 279 files - 797 KB)

Also been chopping some former identities folders that were present from
several, installs un-installs of OE Newsreader when it was messing up last
year. So, after I clean them up and retain my present OE store, I'll let you
know what remains, etc.

Running ver1.3 of Spybot. I never installed that "interim test version";
went directly from V1.2 to V1.3. Setting is to "Overwrite log file if
existent (else append to it)" ---sic

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....
