Cat,
I would no delete anything in Windows\SysBackup Folder. I especially would not delete
any .cab Files. It's very doubtful that anything you did would create .Cab files
and placed them in Sysbackup without you knowing about it.
While on the subject, if you are looking for more HDD space do not look within the
Windows Folder. Try program files first. My Documents is also a good place to look
for wasted space.
Unless you have a very small HDD there is not enough space in the whole Windows folder
to make a difference.
