Hi,

You have a problem with some program that you are running or are trying to
run that is causing this. Applications should run under
%userprofile%\Appdata, not under %userprofile%\local~1\application data. The
bottom level folder may tell you what application it is.

ad
nauseum. WHY

Why do I have this never ending folder, link, folder, link that never ends ?
I was able to measure how many bytes are in it, over 37 gigs.

Is this why Vista is so slow ? it has to span 70-100 folders just to find
the
config settings for the applications ?

I know it repeats itself more than 10 times. the 70-100 I hope is an
exaggeration. But it's like looking into a mirror of a mirror. There's no
end
to it.

example:

C:\Users\ken\LOCALS~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\APPLIC~1\Application
Data\Application Data..

I just got bored but it goes on and on and on. The folder itself shows 0
bytes
using properties, but using total commander it shows over 37 gigs. The
link's
properties is a whole different thing.
All of the folders no mattter how many, were created 22 minutes ago. IOW :
when
I opened the local settings folder.
