I found that the 'installer' folder on my system is about 2.4GB in size so I see this is another way that Windows can quickly use up free disk space
I just got a new laptop that had W7 . A bit of a change from XP.
I exposed hidden files and extensions for years to avoid the 'double extension' malware gambit.

BTW I did not know about the folder either. I saw the path listed as a 'System' folder, rather than a download folder where I would expect a MSI to live.
