Unknown Directory

Gentlemen,
Perhaps I am paranoid, but it upset me a lot when I see an unknown and
unexpected directory (C:\TVTOS) which refuses to allow exploration. No only
is not accessible, it has 0 bytes, 0 folders, is read only and also applied
to files in folder (which there are none, if the statement is believable),
is Hidden, does not display a current owner ("unable to display current
owner"), and refuses any attempt to change ownership, auditor or effective
permission or surrender to "take ownership"
Is the kind of challenge wordy of Dirty Harry. Is this a planted object for
something felonious?
Any clues or suggestions' other than "let it live"?

My Internet search shows that that folder may have something to do with
ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery. If your computer is a Think Pad, then I
would guess that it is a folder used for recovery purposes.

Indeed, it is a think Pad. Thanks for the info, now my paranoia is relaxed.
