Among the mystery folders on my Windows XP machine is one called afa38d28 (etc). It contains msxml4-KB92798-enu.log, which comprises 284KB of impenetrable (to me) code. Do I need it? Colin Boatman
You can delete both file and folder. However, the msxml indicates a Microsoft core file and KB92798 tells you where to look in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Checking support.microsoft.com/kb/927978 says it concerns MS06-071: Security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0, sent out in November. This had (ahem) "known issues" so you should follow the instructions or try to make sure the patch has been installed.
Footnote: More than one person asked this question. Is it really a common problem?
