John, No problem, I was just trying to save you and others who were thinking or planning on deleting the windows folder that is located on the flash disk some problems. I am sure that many others, not only you were planning on deleting the windows folder to save some room, but I just wanted to save some of you guys the frustration and errors in the long run. I am sure that the windows folder that the GPS creates on the flash disk is now a crucial part of the GPS, if it were to be deleted, there me be some problems with the GPS program not working properly, and this goes the same with any other application that may create some sort of folder that is located on the flash disk. So, my thought is "better safe than sorry," leave it there unless instructed elsewise by iether Sendero or HumanWare.
