Does anyone know what .chk files are?
In my C:\ directory I now have about 70 of these files. They are all named File0000.chk, File0001.chk, etc. They didn't use to be there, and I've no idea where they're coming from. I've copied them into a seperate folder and they amount to about 6MB.
Along the same lines, several other files keep showing up in my C:\ directory, most of which didn't use to be there, many of them logs (Log, Dilog, Bootlog, Detlog, etc) or .log (Install.log, Scandisk.log, etc). Would anyone know if these can go? How about anything with a .old?
Most of these files are small (1 to 10KB), so it's just more along the lines of trying to clean up the folders rather than gaining disk space. Since I've now got about 100 of these files showing up that didn't use to be there, I'm assuming that most can probably be deleted, and whatever put them there in the first place will rewrite them if it wants to.
I would just put all these into a junk folder, but if any then prevented Windows95 from booting, I'd be in trouble if I had to try and remember DOS.
PS I've also been told that Windows95 doesn't need any autoexec files. Does anyone know if it is safe to delete the autoexec files from the C:\ directory? |
