winsxs folder on non-boot partition

Yesterday a new Windows folder was created on my D: drive. The directory
structure under the Windows folder is:

winsxs >> Policies >>
x86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b _x-ww_77c24773

There is a winsxs folder in the Windows folder on my C: drive. I am aware
of the purpose of the winsxs folder and its contents on my C: drive. Why
would one have been created on my D: drive?

The Windows folder on my D: drive and its contents seem to have been created
at the same time that I updated Adober Acrobat to version 7.1.0. There is a
x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727. 163_x-ww_681e29fb folder in
the winsxs on my C: drive with the same date and time as the folders created
on my D: drive.

Hello Peter,

I have had the same experience, and apparently for the identical reason,
except that in my case the winsxs folder etc. was made on my computer's E:
drive. That's the last place I would want it, as that is a hot-swappable
SATA drive that is not always in the computer. I really need to move that
folder to C:. Any idea how?
