Plus I now have two NEW folders on EVERY partition (7 on two drives)
which were NEVER THERE BEFORE:
1- RECYCLER ( which cointains the recycling bin but it's name is not
the "Recycle bin" as one that I have on desktop but
S-1-5-21-1177238915-1801674531-839522115-1003.
2- System volume information folder which I cannot access - Access is
denied
Where they could come from and what can I do?
I am using two antivirus programs and they found nothing.
Thanks
Did you turn on show hidden and system files? The system volume information
folder is a hidden folder associated with System Restore. It is always
there if SR is enabled on that drive.
Avg7 creates .idx files, I have two, u-bck.idx and log.idx
Visual FoxPro and Exchange Server use .idx files. So does AOL. So does
Symantec. Symantec Q&A Relational Database Index File.
Look here and maybe something will jog your memory.
File Extension Details for .IDX

I wonder if the Indexing service uses .idx files?
The Indexing service uses the Cidaemon.exe process to index files. The
Cidaemon.exe process builds and updates the Index catalog.

Maybe you are! The word download in the above sentence may be a clue.

This is MY SID #
S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003
This is MY Recycle Bin
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003
For me, looking in
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003
is the same thing as me looking in the Recycle Bin on my Desktop. Both
folders contain the same deleted items.
This is MY Recycle Bin
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003

Each hard disk or partition contains a hidden folder named Recycler. The
Recycler folder is used only on NTFS partitions. On FAT32 the RECYCLED
folder is used. The Recycler folder contains a Recycle Bin for each user
that logs on to the computer, sorted by their security identifier (SID).
Windows allocates one Recycle Bin for each partition or hard disk. If your
hard disk is partitioned, or if you have more than one hard disk in your
computer, you can specify a different size for each Recycle Bin.
You can configure the drives Recycle Bin Properties independently or use one
setting for all drives. Right click Recycle Bin | Properties | Global tab |
* Configure drives independently
* Use one setting for all drives
* Do not move files to the Recycle Bin
* Maximum size of Recycle Bin (percent of each drive)
* Display delete confirmation dialog
%systemdrive%\RECYCLER
With at least one folder with the SID #
for every user on the machine.
If there is only one user, then there is only one
SID # folder. That SID # folder is the Recycle Bin.
Security identifiers (SIDs) are numeric values that identify a user or
group.
This registry key lists all of the SIDs.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
To tell which user has which SID, click on each SID, look at
ProfileImagePath, the Data has the user name at the end of the path. I.e.
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Wesley P. Vogel
For example:
S-1-5-18 is systemprofile
S-1-5-19 is NT Authority/ LocalService
S-1-5-20 is NT Authority/NetworkService

.idx files are usually created by a whole variety of database engines to
allow fast searching. Generally when data is entered into a database it
is in a random order and yet the chances are you want look at it in a
more logical order once you have entered it into the database. So an
'INDex' file is created which enables this fast searching. In most
databases you can elect to switch indexing on or off. With fast pc's
these days 'on' is the default.
Also indexes that XP use are part of the file, something like an
attribute for fast searching and so on.
XP does not create standalone index files.These files are NOT part of
the operating system and are safe to delete.

From what I find on google:
They are nero audio database files, at some point nero has asked for a
folder to keep the music cd database files in and you choose c:\. Go into
nero preferences then database and untick the user database path.
If these are from nero, they can be deleted.
