Hello again (Windows 98), Clint's partial response to . Re: WinXP out of memory condition: "`Applications` is only things like OE and folders you have open." made me take a look at a similar folder in my C:\Windows\Application Data which has about 10mb of folders there. They seem to parallel some of the folders I have installed into my Program Files folder, with some exceptions:
For example, within that Applications Data folder is C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates, and within Templates is "Normal.dot" which determines the page setup of how my Word opens. Now two questions: 1. What is the purpose of the Application Data folder? I might have asked that before but I can't find it in our archives. 2. Then there was something more alarming that I discovered poking around in that AD folder. I have a Word document with some personal information on it and it is usually encrypted (I use Cryptext, it's free and efficient). And there, in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word is that same Word file, UNCRYPTED, labeled "AutoRecovery save of [name of file]". It was quite alarming seeing a duplicate of my encrypted file in that folder totally available to anyone accessing it. So the question is, how can that happen, how did it get there, and how can I avoid that breach of my encryption program? --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
