It creates the following folders:

  • %User Profile%\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData
  • %User Profile%\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
  • %User Profile%\CryptnetUrlCache\Content
  • %User Profile%\Microsoft\Address Book
  • %Application Data%\Identities\{8A24C031-62FE-4BF5-94F0-BFD4FBCD674B}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
