Program folder - strange? WIN7 64b questions
Hi!
Running WIN7 64 bit; Could someone please help, I have the following folders on C:\
* Program AND
* Program ; This one is hidden but with a key lock icon - it seems like a copy of "Pogram" above"... The same folders inside, runnable executables - only difference it seems in properties is that I cannot view size. Where does this come from?
* Program (x86) - nothing strange...
* Program Data - thought this should be in \\profile folder - so?
This is probably nothing ... more that I'm kind of new to WIN7 compared to XP.
If Im in the wrong forum I´m sorry... please suggest a better one..?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, the folder “c:\ProgramData” in Windows 7 is the same as this folder on XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
But I cannot find the folder ----“* Program ; This one is hidden but with a key lock icon - it seems like a copy of "Pogram" above"...

For the lock icon, it is a new feature of Windows 7 RC. If a folder's ownership is SYSTEM, the icon would be appears. Please refer:
