Empty folder created in ProgramData on startup
2 posts
When ramdisk.exe starts, it creates an empty folder at C:\ProgramData\SoftPerfect\RAM Disk. Is this intentional?
Also, just for your information, on my computer, where I have updated RAM Disk many times, I found 7 shortcuts in the following folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\SoftPerfect RAM Disk
- RAM Disk Console
- SoftPerfect RAM Disk on the Web
- SoftPerfect RAM Disk
- Uninstall SoftPerfect RAM Disk
- User Manual
- Деинсталлировать SoftPerfect RAM Disk
- Сайт SoftPerfect RAM Disk в Интернете
On another computer, after a fresh installation, there are only 5 shortcuts:
- RAM Disk Console
- SoftPerfect RAM Disk
- User Manual
- Деинсталлировать SoftPerfect RAM Disk
- Сайт SoftPerfect RAM Disk в Интернете
Thanks for spotting these.
The empty folder is only needed on macOS and Linux, as on Windows settings live in the registry. The next build won't create it, and you can safely delete it now.
The installer is now multilingual, and some shortcut names follow your setup language. An update doesn't remove them from an earlier install in another language, hence the pile-up. You can delete the extras that you no longer need.
