Often, but perhaps not always, when an IFW image is created or, possibly, restored, a folder named "Program" appears under C:\.
A system warning notes may interfere with the OS. Why is this occurring?

I don't have a "Program" folder anywhere on any machine.

You can find out what is creating that folder by doing the following...
1. Download Process Monitor from the Sysinternals web site.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysin ... ds/procmon
2. Start Process Monitor and create the following 2 rules...Column and Relation are predefined in their drop down boxes. In this case, Value will be entered by you...no quotes.
Rule 1 -
Column - "Path"
Relation - "is"
Value - "C:\Program"
Add rule 1.
Rule 2 -
Column - "Result"
Relation - "is"
Value - "IS DIRECTORY"
Add rule 2.
Before running a backup, make sure "C:\Program" is deleted.
Run Process Monitor.
You can start or stop a capture by either clicking on File > Capture Events, or clicking on the Capture icon in the toolbar.
When the folder "C:\Program" is created, it will be logged, and will include the name of the process that did it...as well as some detailed information on the log entries.
You can also save the results by clicking on File > Save, and selecting Native Process Monitor Format (PML). The file will be created in the directory where the Process Monitor executable was saved, and will have the default name "Logfile.PML".
This file can be opened and viewed by anyone with Process Monitor, and the output will look exactly like you see it in the program.
