    It's a built-in Windows folder that comes with XP and possibly 2000 machines. It won't harm your computer, even though it's non-deletable.

    I nicked this from another site thought it might be relevant to you.
    I've found a (relatively) simple solution to the undeletable folder problem. Several of these folders were present on my system, including the Xerox one. I followed the instructions at:

    http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/790/

    After a reboot, you are then able to remove the folders as you normally would. Be aware that this does, however, also remove the protection of critical system files, which depending on your level of expertise, could be either good or bad. The tweak itself is harmless.
