We want to check the contents of some important system folders. They hold often malware or traces which can help to clean your computer.
Unzip the attached file to your desktop, you will get filelist.bat. It is important that you run filelist.bat from the drive where your operating system is installed. It's a good idea to restart your system before running it.
Start filelist.bat, it will open notepad with a text file. On old windows version it is possible that notepad can't load the file because it is too long. It will ask you if you want to use wordpad, choose yes.
If the file won't open (this could happen if notepad.exe or file type associations are destroyed) you will find it in the temp directory. Start windows explorer and type "%temp%" (without "") in the address line and you are there. In the case the temp variable is missing it will be in the root directory of your system drive. The file name is filelist.txt. You can open it with every program which is able to handle text files. Using a word processor you will need to choose "file type" all in the open dialogue to see *.txt files.
In this file there are different lists, each is the contents of one folder. The number is depending from version and configuration of your operating system. Each list is sorted over date with youngest first. Remove in each list all entries which are older than six months (if you are told to use another period use this). Between the lists are titles, this are lines with many dashes.
After this is done copy the remaning text into your clipboard and paste it into your answer. Please insert before it this lineand behind it this[CODE]Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.[/CODE]
