Some time back, this folder tree appeared in Windows XP Pro SP3. The Mozilla connection is, that of its two first-level subfolders, one is \Firefox, and so on down. Note: The spelling of the top folder is, VritualRoot, not VirtualRoot. Strange. Here's one long branch: D:\VritualRoot\firefox.exe\HarddiskVolume2\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5cbsax4d.default\reminderfox\reminderfox.ics, reminderfox.ics.bak1, reminderfox.ics.bak2, reminderfox.ics.bak1, reminderfox.ics.bak3 . 

                 ----------- and another example ----------

D:\VritualRoot\firefox.exe\HarddiskVolume2\WINDOWS\system32\spool\00002.spl, 00003.SPL, 00004.SPL .

Ought System Restore to create a backup copy of a cache subfolder in a string like the firefox string above (different user) when restoring to a prior RP?
