Strange Folders

[Clint]

Anyone know what these folders and .txt file is? I had it in Win 7,Win 8 and 8.1.

Doing a google search with "trace database.txt" finds hits mostly relating to adobe software: premiere, photoshop, photoshop lightroom mainly. So I guess it's one these programs...The modified date seems to indicate it's been installed on october (2013), that might be another clue for you to trace which program made these folders.

Good idea.

I wouldn't be quick to point at Adobe though. I am running a couple of their products, without that folder. I can see, from a "google" that there can be many reasons. oneeyed's suggestion might give you a clue.

Have you tried any applications that turned out to be poorly done or half baked? My guess is that a developer somewhere used a template to start app development and neglected to replace the default placeholder values in that template with their own company info. I assume the txt file is empty? I would probably just delete the bogus file/folders and see if they come back.

@mikeytg

I assume the txt file is empty?

The .txt file is not empty. It says Master 1 0

I have Googled it, and not found an answer. I see all the Adobe links. I have Adobe Photoshop 10, But this file was installed before Adobe.
