    Suspicious folders in the root of my D: drive


    So I was going through my D: drive which is where I install all of my games and I noticed two folders named System and System64. Both were last modified 6/10/2020. All the files within System64 were last modified and created on 6/9/2016 and all the files within System were last modified and created on 10/5/2013. All of the files are signed by "Microsoft Corporation" with sha1 and sha256 at the same dates that they were created. All virus scans turn up negative. The names System and System64 are really tripping me up. Is this something I should be concerned about at all?

    User folders in root C: drive

    In my new Windows 10, these folders were generated:

    • Intel
    • PerfLogs
    • Program Files
    • Program Files (x86)
    • Users
    • Windows
    Is there a policy of users generating new folders in this root C: drive?

    On my old W7 PC I had several folders in C:, providing a shorter path for applications.

    E.g. Is there an advantage when new Windows software is installed?

    my d drive and downloads folder is the same folder???

    my d drive is the same folder as my downloads folder and the important things I have in my d drive are now in the same place as my downloads and it's bad because sometimes I almost remove things that are important because I forget that my d drive and downloads
    folder are the same. Like I have a bunch of folders there that I've almost deleted numerous of times because I think im in the downloads folder and that it's just a copy of the original folder and then I remember that I'm on the actual drive. And it's really
    hard to clean out my stuff because I don't know what is what. Like sometimes I don't know if the file or folder in there is something that is downloaded and that I don't need or something important. I don't remember how this happened but I think that I was
    trying to make my d drive my main drive and one some way I changed the location of the drive to my downloads folder. Because I wanted the things I download to go into the d drive folder and not the c drive because I use that one for programs but I didn't want
    my downloads folder to be my d drive!

    Is there any way to change it so my downloads folder is my downloads folder and that my d drive is somewhere else again?

    Suspicious folders in the root of my D: drive

    showing the total of folders/files in drive root

    Properties are shown differently for folders and roots.
    Root properties only shows used and free space.
    Folder properties shows Size, Size on Disk, number of files/folders.
    Questions:
    1 - How can I discover on the root drive the total of folders and files on drive?
    2 - Better, how could I list the number of files within each folder?
    3 - Even better, how could I list the total of subfolders and files at each level within the tree branches?
