Catalog.wci folder

M

Michael Seidner

I am using XP Home w/SP2. The XP partition is NTFS. I also have a 10 GB
partition formatted FAT32 that I use mainly for disk images & some backups.
I noticed a hidden folder on this drive called "System Volume Information"
and when I opened it, there was a single folder called "Catalog.wci" (about
40+ megs.) What is this and why is it on my data partition? I have
indexing turned off for my NTFS partition and System Restore is not
monitoring any partitions but the NTFS one. Should I delete the
"Catalog.wci" folder or leave it?
