%SystemDrive% is the environment variable whic defines the device letter of
the drive which contains your operating system.
It is not a folder. You ought not to see this thing in your desktop all by
itself.

Windows XP >> %SystemDrive% folder Miguel,

Usually the System Drive is 'C:\' on most machines

Windows XP >> %SystemDrive% folder This is most likely a bogus folder or at least a folder with a bogus
name. What are the files and folders in this folder? %SystemDrive% is
a variable that refers to the "Drive" where Windows is installed, it
usually refers to the C:\ drive. The C:\ drive (or any other drive)
*cannot* be on the desktop, that is just plainly impossible. Possibly
what you have on the desktop is a shortcut?

Windows XP >> %SystemDrive% folder likely to be simply a
short cut that can be
deleted or renamed.

by right clicking on the
start button and exploring
users, you can then explore
the desktop folders and double
check that problem icon
to see if it is notated as "shortcut"

Windows XP >> %SystemDrive% folder It does not show that is a shortcut, if I enter to the folders inside the
file this is the address that I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\M4C\Escritorio\%SystemDrive%\Documents and
Settings\M4C\Datos de programa\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache

Read "escritorio" as desktop and "datos de programa" as program data (this
is a spanish OS)

I also do not see this folder in the C drive..

What should I do? should I cut and place on C:\ ?

Need to comment my PC is running unusually slow. ..

Thanks for your help!

Windows XP >> %SystemDrive% folder Hmmm. That would not usually be on the desktop it should be at:

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application
Data\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache

As mentioned earlier %systemroot% is a system variable, it's the same
thing as C:\. I think that maybe (or probably) you copied or dragged
the folder to your desktop by error. Check to see if the folder
actually exists in its expected location, it should be located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\M4C\Datos de programa\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache

If it isn't there copy it from the Desktop to the default location and
then move the one on the desktop to a temporary location. If after a
week or so you experience no problems you should be able to delete the
temporary copy of the folder.
