Guest Dr Rolando E Creagh Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Gentlemen, Perhaps I am paranoid, but it upset me a lot when I see an unknown and unexpected directory (C:\TVTOS) which refuses to allow exploration. No only is not accessible, it has 0 bytes, 0 folders, is read only and also applied to files in folder (which there are none, if the statement is believable), is Hidden, does not display a current owner ("unable to display current owner"), and refuses any attempt to change ownership, auditor or effective permission or surrender to "take ownership" Is the kind of challenge wordy of Dirty Harry. Is this a planted object for something felonious? Any clues or suggestions' other than "let it live"? -- Dr. Rolando E Creagh Perfection can be the enemy of good Quote
Guest Gary Mount Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 My Internet search shows that that folder may have something to do with ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery. If your computer is a Think Pad, then I would guess that it is a folder used for recovery purposes.

Guest Dr Rolando E Creagh Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Indeed, it is a think Pad. Thanks for the info, now my paranoia is relaxed.
