Is there a way to re-create it? I know its mostly useless, but I like to have all default Windows system folders left alone... I deleted PerfLogs accidentally... If I simply re-create PerLogs folder - Windows 8.1 isn't going to see it as a system folder, is it? It may see it as a user-made folder, even though the user has administrator privileges.
As far I know, "PrefLogs" folder is not the windows default folder. It's created afterwards. If I'm not wrong, it's created when you install the chipset or the intel GMA drivers. I don't keep it, it has no use. But if you want that folder back badly, try installing those 2 drivers again...
The folder PerfLogs is not a system essential nor Intel's. It's there after Windows installation.. It is the default location where Performance Monitor saves it logs. It can be deleted if you like..
Control panel -> Administrative tools -> System monitor. Right click on System diagnostics. Choose Run. Wait a couple of seconds and click Stop. That's all.
Code: mkdir C:\PerfLogs mkdir C:\PerfLogs\Admin icacls C:\PerfLogs /grant:r *S-1-5-32-544:(OI)(CI)(F) /T icacls C:\PerfLogs /grant:r SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F) /T icacls C:\PerfLogs /inheritance:r /T icacls C:\PerfLogs /grant:r "BUILTIN\Performance Log Users":(OI)(RX,WD,AD)
