    Okay, so a while ago, as a lot of you know, I installed MSN, but had some problems, so I made a help thread.

    I accidentally installed Microsoft Silverlight because it was there and said it needed it to work, and it turned out that it was just for a video player on the MSN website.

    However, since then, this folder named microsoft (yes, all lowercase) keeps appearing in my Shared Documents folder in My Network Places.

    If I open it, I get a folder named IdentityCRL, and if I open that, I get a folder named Production, and that's it.
    There are no files in them or anything.

    Each time I delete microsoft, it just comes back later.

    Any help?

    Because that folder was created by Windows Live Sign In Assistant, not Silverlight. There's nothing harmful about it. Just hide it if it bugs you.

    Okay, thank you very much, Okabe.
    You've been so helpful tonight.

    You can lock this, but how do I hide folders?

    Right-click the folder --> Properties --> Check "hidden" --> Apply
