funny windows "mystery"

[nocturnal]

heres a brain teaser for you... my bro installed win2k3 on his workmachine and he noticed something fun with the IDS we use on all our office machines, he has a dir in D: that he has created (NOT a default win dir of any kind), when he opens wmedia player it acts just like normal bla bla and then he plays a song and a few seconds after the song is finished like 20 seconds or more it starts to open a file for writing three levels down in his custom dir in D: but the problem doens't stop there, it's not even a file! it's trying to open a dir for writing

the weird thing is that it never stops trying to open this dir for writing, unless he plays another file or closes it
he used to block it from doing this but then he got tons of errors

[gish]

windows media?....could be writing, media playing history/stats, media information, who knows really....

what was the name of the folder? there is a small chance that he took the name of an actual system folder, and WMP got confused

d:\his_name\something_i_cant_remember\www
and note that the songs he was playing were NOT in this directory

oh and this is not a cry for help it's just a fun thing i thought we could discuss ;-)
