%SystemDrive%

Hi
I recently noticed this folder on my destop "%SystemDrive%" I was wondering if it is safe to remove. I don't know where it came from it just suddenly appeared. I would really like to get rid of it if possible.
Any ideas greatly appreciated
Dave

Re: %SystemDrive%

A desktop folder shouldn't be system critical. view the contents of the folder (from safemode wouldn't be a bad idea if you're worried it's a virus) if it looks like junk move it to the recycle bin, if it looks important change the name and reboot. If you have trouble on reboot change it back, if everything is fine move it to the recycle bin.
