All Empty Folders Deleted

Client reports that all empty folders were deleted from his drive. He does
not recall what he did. Anyone hear of this before?

Not sure but I think that's one of the applets found under All Programs|
Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup...Maybe "delete temp files"
also deletes empty folders. If not I'd look at whatever "Disk Cleanup"
applications may reside on the HDD.

I think I've found a probable explanation... Client is quite security
conscious and uses a shredder applet included with the Wave Systems Embassy
Security Suite. Apparently, he was going through the files under Documents
and Settings | username. Later, he went to Documents and Settings | Username
| My Recent Documents. He used the shredder program to remove all shortcuts
in My Recent Documents -- instead of using the Start Menu properties to clear
it. The shredder applet deleted all empty folders.
