  1. Randomly generated hidden folders in the Users directory.


    Hello, there are these weird user folders getting generated in the Users folder, they seem to delete themselves and regenerate every day and I have no idea what they are or for, is it for Windows Update?

    The names of this files are weird too like

    angels-wore.sql

    today-sphere-sweeten.docx

    secrecy.brought.returning.xls

    I open them and here are some of the results the office documents refuse to open.

    Randomly generated hidden folders in the Users directory. 1c5dc848-1183-4eba-9693-7ba8e99d8ee4?upload=true.png

    And here are the folders in the user folder:

    Randomly generated hidden folders in the Users directory. c4fefd68-d8e5-4347-9678-9887fe093638?upload=true.png


    I did an AV test to see if it was malware and the scan results were clean.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

  3. How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin Randomly generated hidden folders in the Users directory. :D

    Randomly generated hidden folders in the Users directory.

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
