    i tried to remove it and it does not give me the option
    it just says rarely used and the file size. no "remove or change" button.
    and when i do a file search to remove it, it says to remove it using add/remove lol stupid thing! :mad:


    while im here again,
    would you know why my system 32 folder opens after rebooting?



    thanks for the help.
