Now Microsoft is saying that empty junk folder is key to some strange
new Windows security feature
<https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-warning-dont-delete-that-weird-inetpub-folder-already-did-heres-your-fix/>.

What happens if you’ve deleted it? Microsoft says don’t just recreate
it yourself: instead, you must go through the rigmarole of turning IIS
on and off again, to recreate it properly.

You may wonder what Microsoft is up to these days, that it has to
resort to such roundabout and baffling voodoo-black-magic measures all
in the name of “security”.

I expect some at Microsoft are wondering, too.
