Windows 10: Why Windows 11 has folder C:\Windows\System32, C:\Program Files x86. Do they plan adding...

HelloRecently I've updated to Windows 11.When I looked inside, it still has folder- C:\Windows\System32,- C:\Program Files x86. Do they plan adding x32-bit support back?

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

Windows XP - "My Computer" not displaying "My Documents" folder

No policies are active

In "My Computer", with "Arange Icons by Type", and "Show in Groups" selected, "My Documents" does not show up in the "Files stored on this computer" section for any user. For a limited acount, only "Shared Documents" appears, but for an administrative user, there is one Icon for each user's Documents directory. It may be that when I was using my account as an administrative user, I never noticed it because I was able to select the appropriate user's directory.

"My Documents" does appear in the "Other Places" Section for all users.

(Hmmmm.... I just noticed that if I go "Up" from "My Computer" I can see "My Documents" in the Desktop view. Maybe that is the one I have been expecting to see?)

The registry paths are all fine. I think it's probably me expecting too much from Microsoft.
