Two directory packages on the same machine, old or new, probably causes some kind of conflict in the file system.
Windows.old is caused when you upgrade from one version of Windows to the next. It's perfectly normal. This mainly happens if you upgrade from within windows rather than doing a clean formatted install.
To clear those folders run cleanmgr.exe, click on the clean up system files button then there should be an entry to delete old install files. This will remove windows.old and a couple of other folders created during the upgrade.
You can't delete these manually you have to use this program.
WARNING: There may be a possibility of some settings loss but its usually minor.
I thought the date might be significant! So far this new build is vastly better than build 10041 which appeared to dislike my graphics card.
April fool?
