windows 7 - Extra Program Files folder in Win7 and its removal

A WIN7SP1 on a Dell laptop showed an extra Program Files folder ('Programme' in German language version). How to get rid of it?


The Dell laptop is from Ebay and the OS seems to have been flashed on to the disk by the vendor from some obscure image he might have had. Nothing else is known about the install procedure of the OS.

A screenshot from admin account shows an interesting variation.

Changing the superflous 'Programme' to 'Programs'.


Is this:



  1. MSFT multi language pack bug?

  2. Screwup of a non localization knowledgeable 3rd party install?


So : How to get rid of it? (Hint: the extra one is empty)


Cheers, Gert
