Thank you 'learnctx' for posting.. {smile}<br />
<br />
This computer is NOT on a domain; it is a standalone.<br />
<br />
Contained within the ' ..\crypto\rsa\usersid ' folder are ~69,000 files consuming 2.3gb of space.<br />
<br />
Will deleting the folder hurt anything? <br />
<br />
Is this due to a virus/malware? If it is, can you recommend any software to clean it up.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.

While I appreciate everyone for providing referential scholarship, it was up to me to come up with a solution and put it into action. The solution I came up with is pure brute force and ignorance, and technically unsubstantiated in ANY scholarship I could find, either here or in Google World.<br />
<br />
So, cheers to everyone. I lucked out. I only wish the very best to you the reader in your endeavors.

My Windows 7 Home Premium ' c:\users\profile\AppData\R<wbr />oaming\Mic<wbr />rosoft\Cry<wbr />pto\RSA\us<wbr />erSID ' folder contains a huge number of files and is over 2gb in size. What is causing this and how do I fix it?<br />
<br />
To the best of my knowledge, I do not have any encryption turned on. As to applications, I basically, just run email (Windows Live), MsOffice10, and Adobe CS5.<br />
<br />
Help!

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
