Bob B,

I now realize that in addition to installing Office 2000 (Word and Excel
only), I also installed FrontPage 2003. I suspect the MSOCache folder was
installed by FrontPage 2003. If that's the case, the info here (suggested
by Bob I) would apply:

Yep - missed the "2000" when you mentioned the MSOCACHE - that explains the
small size as well... All Office 2003 programs use the LIS, and we are
likely to see other applications from third parties do something similar in
the years to come. You probably have also discovered that the reason that
it was created on the D: drive is that it defaults to the drive w/most
available free disk space. IF you want to keep it, you can download the
LISTOOL from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A3-695B-42C3-9045-B812BA0FED3E&displaylang=en

Which will allow you to move the cache to a new drive.
