I think maybe security question...

I don't know what happened but half of a very large directory got moved or something into the following directory...

X:\16382877109e66bff5b0dfa059bec5

from X:\data

and now when I try to access the sub directories within the weird directory to get my data back it gives me an error "access denied".

I have no idea what's going on. There is a file in the weird directory root that is:
%temp%dd_msxml_retMSI.txt

and contains a bunch of log info or something. I've attached it. Thanks for any help.

Hello and welcome to TSF

These are just the windows updates. I think when windows updates it installs some of its programs into these folders. I have them on my system aswell.

I hope that helps.

I'm confused then? What is my personal folders and data doing in a microsoft installation folder? It's just stored personal data seperate from windows.

Is there a way I can remove the security dead lock? Move them back out of there and to where they belong?
