the installation of my Intel Driver disc put it on my desktop?

Yes. &nbsp;Most likely you ran the Intel Driver disc from your desktop location and it extracted the WMB folder from an install archive on the CD. &nbsp;Then, it used the files inside the WMD folder to install your updated drivers.

I have had a sound problem form weeks, several solutions tried and failed. I was able to restore sound using my Intel Driver disc that came with my computer. As far as I know it installed only the Intel Audio Studio drivers.<br />
<br />
However, on my desktop is a folder called WDM.<br />
In this folder are many files.<br />
Under help it shows this info:<br />
Windows XP professional<br />
version: 5.1 (build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1<wbr />236 : service pack 3)<br />
2007<br />
<br />
I've done nothing, knowlingly, to put this on my desktop. <br />
1. Why is it there? <br />
2. Where should it be?<br />
I see SP3 in my add/remove program list. I do not see service pack 2.<br />
