    It could just be a temp folder left over from an program install. Most any computer has a few of them at the root of the boot drive, some empty. MS leaves them there fairly often. If it's been there a while, you can usually delete it.

    Agreed. I say nuke it. Nuke it out of principle!

    Windows update sometimes uses folders like that.

    To second what aedipuss said - what files are in the folder?
    If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them?

    First of all I would virus scan them before opening, copy to different media and delete. If no problem that's it.
