    Must be a folder that you or somebody created. I don't have one on either of my 2 Win 7 machines running Home and Pro. Searched for it and don't find it on either PC. Of course you could have a different version of Win 7 than I have. You don't say which you have. There are 6 differnet versions of Win 7. If you go to User CP near the top left and fill out your System Specs. and save them, it will be easy to see what you have.

    Thanks for your reply. I'll get the system specs on my 'Signature'. I get the impression that Win 7 does not use or need an 'Entertainment' folder? After reading your comments, it occurred to me that I transferred my files etc. from my old computer to this one..maybe that's where the empty folder came from??

    Hi Bigalx58. The Entertainment folder that you see on your Windows 7 computer is NOT a default folder that Windows 7 uses. That folder was most likely created by you when you transferred your files over to the new machine or its possible that it was created by the manufacturer of your computer.
