I have a folder in my WINNT directory named Driver Cache. It has a folder in it named i386. Does anyone know what the contents of this folder consist of?
I was just looking to clear up some bloated win2k files and such but I don't want to delete anything remotely important.

Taken from "How to minimize the footprint of Win2K Pro" on MS Technet:



<< The last step is to delete the Driver.cab file located in the %SystemRoot%\Driver Cache\I386 folder. This file is approximately 50 MB in size. If several other criteria are met, this file enables the automatic installation of drivers.

If the Driver.cab file is removed, devices can no longer be transparently installed by the operating system. If a driver is required and the Driver.cab file cannot be located, Windows 2000 prompts you for the installation CD-ROM that contains the driver files. If you are not logged on as a user with administrative privileges, the driver installation is not successful.

Be careful deleting system files! Hope this helps.
