A3: If you are running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003, the Msdcode.dll (Microsoft Data Collection Control) remains on the computer. This file is an ActiveX control that is used to securely transfer files to Microsoft. This file is stored in the %windir%\Downloaded Program Files folder. All the files that MSDT creates in the %temp%\~odc folder during the data collection process are deleted when you send them to Microsoft. These files are also deleted when you select the No, do not send the files to Microsoft option in the Send files to Microsoft dialog box. Note If you exit Windows Internet Explorer during the data collection process or after the data collection process is complete, some files may remain in the %temp%\~odc folder.
