I have in excess of 50 folders within the \Windows directory of my laptop. Since
I bought the laptop used, I do not have ANY documentation that would tell me what
any of these folders are, and looking at the contents of the same does not help me
identify them, particlarly since there were a consider number of programs on the
laptop that I have no idea, this being my first XP computer (as I understood the
programs I was using with my Win98 machines WOULD NOT RUN in XP, and most of them
not only are no longer being actively supported or developed, but either have no
XP equivalents, or the same would be too closely given the frequently with which
I would likely use them) if they were installed either by Windows, Compaq (the brand
name of the laptop), or the previous owner(s).
Is there a way, other than trial and error, to identify if removing any of these
folders would disable a program still on the computer and if so, to identify what
program it would disable?
