** What are These Files **

Hi All:

I have these files on two different drives, I don't know where they came from or what they are for.

Hope someone can tell me, I would like to remove them if possible. They are taking up 25.6mb each.

See the link .... http://home.earthlink.net/~billlane28/add-ons.jpg

My OS: WinXP Pro

Thanks ahead of time,

Bill Lane

Uninstall Internet Information Services. Add/remove programs, add/remove Windows components. "pws" stands for personal web server.

Hi glc & macko72:

Thanks, but can I delete the Add-ons folders? I don't seem to be using anything that pertains to these files.

The link "Internet Information Service" didn't load for me. Was there something there that you wanted me to see?

Thanks,

Bill Lane
