Try this. Make two Compressed (Zipped) folders. Put one inside the other. Then open the first one containing the second one. When you open the second one you will see this path:

C:\DOCUME~1\*Name*\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 2 for *Name of Compressed (zipped) Folder.zip*\*Name of Compressed (zipped) Folder (2).zip.*

Now look at all of the folders in C: and you will notice that, at the bottom, a new folder has appeared: Docume~1.

Can you tell me anything about this? It is exactly the same as C:\Documents and Settings but it appeares in a different spot on my disk now. Also, whatever folder I make in C:\Docume~1 shows up on C:\Documents and Settings. Any reason why this folder pops up?

I had a so-stated "Serious Error" report listing 2 files of this very same type {C:\DOCUME~1\MyName\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2644.DIR00\mINI012210-01.dmp AND ANOTHER VERY SIMILAR FILE NOTATION}, and immediately causing my system to re-boot when i installed a new Pioneer DVR Drive on my PC. The computer has functioned normally since, but I have been reluctant to try the new DVR, as this was a replacement for a new Pioneer DVR drive which spun the disc in the drive so hard that it ended yo in at least 100 pieces. Can you tell me please

C:\DOCUME~1\MyName\LOCALS~1\Temp and C:\PROGRA~1\
i do not agree that they are the same as C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Local Settings\Temp
and c:\programs\ in the registry they are listed both ways and they are not related

I have a 'C:\DOCUME~1 issue myself. I swear its nowhere to be found.

I downloaded a document from my email--proposal 25
and forgot this when I saved and closed word.

So I opened the desktop version and realized it did not have the modified changes from 1/21, so in File box is saw proposal 25 saved with the path C:\DOCUME~ ...proposal 25. I found this blog, read the article and have searched my own local disk and done computer file searches, but it only finds my original desktop version. I modified the dates just for 1/21 and no document shows up. I didn't not save the desktop version when I opened it either, in case I could recover yesterday's file. Now I am desperate, any advice?

The reason you can't delete C:\Docume~1 is because it's a system folder. It's the folder that user accounts are stored: C:\Documents and Settings\
Windows XP sometimes addresses it as Docume~1 to avoid the spaces in the file name.

How do I find Program.exe. Many of my emails with graphics say they cannot open because they cannot find Program.exe. I can find it either. Where is it? Thanks

2 days ago Ad Aware found I had a Win.32 Trojan Downloader on my PC, AVG anti virus did not show it. I decided to see if I could find the source of this Trojan, and why it didn't show on AVG.
Yes, you guessed it, the trojan was in a file in C:\DOCUME~1.
Eventually I gave up looking for the Trojan, and deleted it with Ad Aware. I did all the usual, cleaned out my machine, then checked to ensure my machine was clear.
I did find the source of the Trojan, my grandson was swapping photos with a friend, and the Trojan was sitting in a .zip file on my desktop.
