name of the folder?

check for viruses lately?
 
Is it thinkable you've got a task set up to create that folder every day?
 
Yep :)

We're anxiously awaiting the name of the folder :)
 
Does it only happen when you boot the computer, or can you have it up and running for days, and each day or so a "New Folder" will be created?

What about Mizzle's question about checking your scheduled tasks? I'm sure you didn't intentionally schedule such a task but it's worth looking if there's one set for some reason.
 
The folder is named....New folder
you need to see if there's anything hidden in the folder, hit organize, folder options, views then allow all hidden files, make sure you hit apply, then reopen the folder and see if anything is in there

Some guy found out a Bluetooth service was doing it on his computer. Make sure you don't have any applications set to create that folder when receiving files or downloading files - i.e. I've got a firefox extension called DownThemAll, and that's set to create a new folder every time I download any files using this extension.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
