Resolution of the found.000 folder

Q: My computer sometimes has a folder named found.000 in the root directory of C disk or D disk, and there are some files with suffixes named Chk. Under C:windows There are many strange files that start with FFF, and the size is all 0 bytes. Excuse me, what are these documents? Can you delete them?

A: Some of the suffixes in the found.000 folder named Chk are the "Lost cluster recovery files" that you created after using Disk Defragmenter to defragment your hard disk. Under C:windows There are many files that start with FFF that are generated by the Mdm.exe (Machine Debug Manager) program. The main job of Mdm.exe is to debug the application software, and some staging files are generated during the debugging process, which are not automatically purged when the operating system shuts down. So these fff the beginning of the strange files and found.000 folder in some suffixes named chk files are not used garbage files, can be arbitrarily deleted without adversely affecting the system.

But as long as there are Mdm.exe in the system, then the strange file that begins with FFF can be produced. You can use the following method to stop the system from running Mdm.exe to completely remove the strange files that start with FFF: First press the "Ctrl+alt+del" key combination, select "MDM" in the pop-up "Close Programs" window, and press "End Task" button to stop Mdm.exe running in the background, and then rename Mdm.exe (in C:windowssystem directory) to Mdm.bak. Run the Msconfig program to cancel the selection of "Machine Debug Manager" in the startup page. This will not allow Mdm.exe to start, then click the "OK" button, end the Msconfig program, and restart the computer. In addition, if you use IE 5.X, it is recommended that you disable script invocation (click "Tools →internet option → advanced → disable script invocation"), so that you can avoid the creation of a strange file that starts with FFF.
