winxp question

[Guest]

Searching thru my computer, i noticed files from way back when 2004.I don't
know why theyre there, but would my IP keep stuff from that time, even if i
have a new computer?were they just imported somehow by my IP server.I am just
curious for answers here please.Is it normal to have such things left behind.
I am a novice person with technical things, so please simple answers I can
understand a yes or no would suffice.TIA

Depends on what they are and where you find them. I just checked a WinXP
machine and found files back to 2001 and lots of files from 2002. Machine
was purchased in 2003.

Thanks Frank,they are old files indeed,so i am relieved to know that is
normal then.I don't remember where i found them really,computers are somewhat
mind boggling at times.
