sqm files

my C drive root is littered with .sqm files from Windows Live Messenger. Apparently the geniuses in MS decided that it is a wise decision to crap a file out to C:\ whenever needed. Today only I deleted 15 of them, they'll come back gradually I�m sure. Anyone has a work-around?

They're "Service Quality Monitor" data collection timer files created from Windows Live Messenger or windows vista

Why not, I think it's great!

EDIT: I dont have a problem on my C drive. I dont have any .sqm files, that I know of.

you have to have 'View Hidden Files' enabled in your options.

@Samuaijack: so there's no way to stop them?

Well the only thing i know that if you have the customer Experience Improvment Program in your messenger activated...deactivate it

i hope it helps.
