alta folder in WindowsXP

...running sp2.  It's located in C:\documents and settings\application data.  Always empty, created months ago.  Think I've deleted it before and Windows restored it.  No scans point to a threat.  Does it belong in Windows, or should I delete it again?

    I don`t think it is part of Windows.

    From where it is located I`d say it was created by a program/application of some kind.

    Run a system search for "alta" and see what it turns up.  Maybe you`ll recognise something.

    If it keeps coming back when you delete, it the application must still be running on your machine.

    Thanks for responding.  A search leads nowhere, and with the folder gone for now I'm satisfied.  Will try to be alert to any applications creating it again.
