A while ago some messages expressed disapproval with Windows Me, and I'm
curious as
to what the dissatisfaction is all about.
For myself, I've noted that a neighbor's computer using WinMe seems to have
a problem
with a hidden directory on the C:\ drive, named _RESTORE\TEMP (note
the
underscore). The problem is that the directory gets loaded with a humongous
amount of
*.CPY files the longer WinMe is running.
Anyone else seeing this problem? (use the msdos window in WinMe to observe
the
directory and files, or a WinMe boot floppy)
The main question is whether the directory is created by WinMe or is some
kind of virus
or spyware addition, exploiting a vulnerability....?
