Last week I ran Windows Update (XP Pro) and afterwards, a folder named
"%SystemDrive%" appeared on my desktop. What is this? Can it be moved? Can I
delete it?

Thanks,
Bill

I guess some script did something wrong here , normally %SystemDrive%
stands for the partition/drive Windows is installed on. You can see this
for example by executing Start->Run...->"explorer %SystemDrive%". You
probably can just delete this folder.
