    Data in Win 2k

    Locked

    by jgranados · about 19 years ago

    I am having some concerns here. pardon me for my ignorance. I came across the DATA folder in Windows Explorer on one of our machines. When I click on the folder, it takes a long long time to show up and when it opens up, it has a ton of folders under it. One of the folders is 1.2 Gigs. What exactly is that DATA folder and what writes to that folder? Please help!

      Without knowing what type of data is in the Data folder, it’s hard to give you any specific answer or guidance.

      Most likely, this is a folder created by the user of that particular computer to helporganize his work files.

      I always create Data partitions on any computer (server or workstation) I configure. This is a way to separate user files from system and application files.

      I usually create
