What is the function of: C:\program files\xerox\nwwia ? It seems to be
empty.

Since you didn´t post the question to Google (where it rightfully belongs
to), I did it instead.

This text explains how to delete the undeleteable Xerox folder. Stole the
text below from annoyances.org and thank them for it.


Jeez, how many people you think are going to do that????? Here's what you
do: I owe this solution to 'twister', who lives/posts
here: http://www.asendtechnologies.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6868 I have the
solution. This will give you added power over your Xtremely
Pesky operating system. I did the following and have had NO problems: Do a
find on 'sfcfiles'. You need to do the advanced search option,
and check 'Search system folders', 'Search hidden files', and 'Search sub
folders'. Results will be sfcfiles.dll, in one or more places.
Change all their names (highlight the file and hit F2) to sfcfilesold.dll.
XP may tell you that you are being very very BAD, so tell XP to
go piss up a rope...lol........ Restart, and voila, you can delete nwwia,
xerox etc. http://www.wizardscave.com soon to be:

nothing, winlogon.exe just locks it. You could remove it after closing
the "..nwwia" file handle opened by winlogon (use "process explorer"),
but it will be created after rebooting... Maybe hacking some locked
system files can help.. But it's risky... (and you can't hack them in
xp)
