PC Pete 
I've used the uninstall facility in the add/remove Windows Features (in Control Panel|Programs|Programs and Features) to remove my windows.old folder, and after a reboot, the folder still exists. Kinda.
There is still a path to a single installed app setting from XP (C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\Pete\Application Data\SecuROM), which I think was related to a CD/DVD security provider tool.
But when I use explorer or Opus to try and remove the folder, I start getting strange "unterminated string" kinds of errors (lots of garbage characters in the error dialog buried under the C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\ folder structure), using both explorer itself and with Opus.
It's no longer available in my Programs and Features list, so obviously this is only a partially removed situation.
If anyone can offer some ideas to help figure out where the problem is and how to fix it, I'd much appreciate the help.
