Re: Binaries Folder - What is it?

Just a quick comment here.

In the unix world, executable program files are usually called "binaries". And while not technically binaries, executable scripts are sometime stored with the binaries.

I don't know whether this is where the name arose for your folder, but at least it's a plausible guess.

This is where it came from:
The SOAP Toolkit 3.0 provides a SOAPVDIR.CMD script (located in the C:\Program Files\MSSOAP\Binaries). MS creates the 'Binaries' named folder.

Edit - I believe that the correct directory is:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSSoap\Binaries\

The folder and files take up about 230 kB. Why do you want to delete these, Fusionguy? IMHO, you probably should not delete MS files, unless you are really sure about what you're doing, and how it will affect your system. There are much easier ways to clear some space on your harddrive, if needed. For example, running:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cleanmgr.exe

Yes I also have the C:\Program Files\Common Files\MSSOAP\Binaries\ folder. The creation date of the folder was in May of this year. The Binaries folder (in my D drive) with the two files was created on the 23rd of this month. I did back it up and then delete it. Everything seem to be running as usual. Don't known why it picked my D drive though.

I don't. They do not exist on my box.
