Wednesday while doing some backups on my home Windows 7 PC I noticed a new folder named .ms-ad in my root User account folder, i.e., C:\Users\Me\.ms-ad
This new .ms-ad folder was empty and remains empty.
Properties doesn’t show any indication of what this folder might be associated with.
I have searched online but I cannot find anything about this folder name, with or without the . in front although I do get a lot of hits on MS Active Directory (which I’m pretty sure doesn’t apply to me).
Putting .ms-ad into Windows search on the taskbar brings up only this one folder in the results box and takes me right there when I click on it.
Does anyone know what this .ms-ad folder is for and\or why it is there?
Thanks!
