There are a couple of desk top folders Windows XP created and they are now
in the Unused desk top folder.
Internet Explorer.{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}
Microsoft Outlook.{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
These folders appear as a file folder icon.
The Outlook folder seems to do nothing. I have MS Outlook installed but I
do not use it. I use OE. The folder is empty and doesn't launch anything.
There used to be an Outlook icon, but Windows mysteriously deleted it during
a recent unsolicited desk top clean up. There is still a shortcut to
Outlook via the start button.
The IE folder appears empty, but it launches IE. I have a separate icon
elsewhere to launch IE, although I use Firefox as a web browser.
Question: why were these created and can I delete them without corrupting
anything. I know icons are usually just pointers that can be deleted. But
Windows created these two folders, so I want to know for sure if I can get
rid of them for should I just leave them ignored. I am running Windows XP
SP3.
