    why do strange email addresses appear as network locations?


    HI,

    I opened my "This PC" folder on my desktop and noticed that under Network Locations, there are two items that are named after email addresses. when I check properties I get an error say that they cant display properties. when I open them, they say that the folders are empty.

    the addresses are:


    see below or attached



    they are not familiar addresses and will not delete when I try to remove them.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanx
    DCE

    :)

    Why do addresses (names) appear in my drop down list when I have deleted or edited the email address

    Hi,

    To further assist you, may we know the email client of your email account. Also, may we know if you have set up your account through the Windows mail?

    We look forward to your prompt response.

    Why do contacts that I have deleted or edited still appear in my dropdown list.

    why do strange email addresses appear as network locations?

    Those are media center servers. Have you placed your computer on a network, such as a public hotspot where you might have picked up media center servers from other users?
