On the Windows installation, a hidden temp folder "USMT.TMP" was created. I
haven't seen this on previous installations of XP, and suspect it should
have been deleted in the installation process. As it's hidden, I hesitate to
delete it, but its using 15 megs (".dat" and ".db" files) and I don't see
any reason for it. Does somebody else know what this folder is?

Delete it to the RECYCLE BIN, for temporary storage. If no dire
consequences develop, delete it.
