Was just in my Documents folder when I noticed a "Public" folder. What is this folder? Can anyone see it, and how? All that was in there was some sample videos, pictures and music.

In "Public Documents," there was a folder called "microsoft" and that led to "CRL Identity." That then led to "production." What is that stuff?

The actual Public folders are in (for Vista and Win7) C:\Users\Public, which is available for all users, it is public.
If you have a Public anything in your Documents folder it is either a mis-named folder, or else just a shortcut link icon to the actual shared access, Public ones.

Thanks, ChuckE. Do you know what that CRL Identity folder is? Seemed sort of weird, because I never created that or anything. Guess I was just paranoid that it meant someone was seeing my identity or something.

I don't know what the CRL is for, but I think it might be related to common or shared Certificates, Registrations or Licenses. I have the same folder on my PC, too. I would not worry about it.

Just remember, don't put anything in Public that you don't want all users to see.
