Folder management in the User areas
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am fairly new to Vista. I noticed that
within each User area there are 8 folders that are not accessible and seem to serve no purpose. They each have a yellow icon that has an arrow that points up and to the right. They a Application Data, Cookies, Local Settings, NetHood, PrintHood, SendTo, Start Menu, Templates Can these folders just be deleted without hurting anything? Also, there are some folders with blue icons that I will never use, like Music, Pictures, Saved Games and Videos. Can I delete these? Finally, the rest of the folders with blue icons look like they are system related and should be left alone. But I need a place for my business documents and the "Documents" folder seems to be full of system junk that I would not want in the same place I put my business stuff. What is the real purpose of that folder, and should I make a brand new folder for the documents I create myself? Ted Smith |
