Hi all,

Wonder if someone could shed some light on a folder please?

I'm working on a Win 8.1 laptop, acquired with Encase 7.10.1

I have a folder \Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\0b46ca51ab8411e3be760c84dc1e2ea2\

The folder is full of images, some of which I'm interested in. googling the Notification folder it's a folder related to Microsoft App notifications but I can't find out how the images within the \0b46ca51ab8411e3be760c84dc1e2ea2\ folder got there.

Anybody know how the images get into this folder, where have they been generated from? All the image file names appear to be randomly generated.

Thanks in advance

Gary

Hi Dear,

Are you sure that the files about which you are image files?
As what I interpret is that these are temporary files.
Let me know more detailing about the same.

Thanks and Regards

This is probably a question best asked on MSDN or some MS software development group. Or perhaps there's info somewhere in the Windows 8 SDK.

Guess When a notification is posted, the template can refer to multiple images, some of which may be on other systems (in the cloud, say). Notifications sent from a running application probably have the images locally, but other notifications (scheduled, for example), or remote ones (live tiles, say) may need to preserve the entire notification (with images in multiple sizes and resolutions).

The folder you mention just *might* be where they are stored. Or some subset of them perhaps only live tiles.

The only way I can imagine testing this would be to take some of the Dev Center sample apps for different kinds of notifications, run them, probably after modifying them to cover all options, and see what happens in each case.

Some limited testing could probably be made on live tiles that are known to change fairly often.
