📎 AI Summary:
The user reports the sudden appearance of numerous DefaultAppPool and DefaultAppPool.IIAppPool folders in their Windows 7 64-bit user directory and inquires about their origin and whether they can delete them. Responses suggest checking for any programs that use IIS or local web hosting, but the user confirms they are not running such programs or making related changes, leaving the cause of the folders unclear.

Win 7 64 bit. I suddenly a large number of DefaultAppPool and DefaultAppPool.IIAppPool folders have appeared in my User folder. Where did these come from? Can I delete them?

Are you running any programs which rely on IIS (Windows built in Web Server), or messing around with websites hosted locally?

Nope. That is I'm not aware of any programs that rely on IIS. I havent loaded any new programs in quite some time. I'm not messing around with locally hosted websites.
