The picture above is what people used to troll people, so naturally, people did it and ended up with a computer not able to start up and not being able to access anything and they had to re-install Windows. System 32 is important to the system, it contains start up info program info, if you deleted a single file, one or many programs will not work and have to download it again, if you delete a file which is vital to Windows, Windows will not be able to boot and you have to re-install windows.
Lessons learned - 1.) You now have some knowledge on what system 32 is and never to touch it - 2.) Don't let people fool you into deleting system 23 (Or anything in the Windows folder, don't access anything in the folder unless you know what you are doing)
EDIT: I'v noticed some people typing "System32 is a Virus" It's not - http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/delete-system32

I'm sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong. What are you trying to do? Make these kids keep that awful virus? Do you know why Macs are so expensive? They are virus proof. You will never find System 32 on a Mac.

I delete it for other people...

On Bungie.old I tried to convince a moderator that by telling someone to delete system 32 I was legitimately trying to help them. Needless to say it didn't work. :lol

Guys, don't listen to this guy, you're getting reverse trolled. The image is a fake that goes with this troll post "countering," it. It pops up on /b/ basically daily. "System 32" is a harmful virus which becomes embedded deep into the same folders as hold the essential functions to your PC. It's [i]designed[/i] to simulate a normal function of your PC so that people who don't know their way around tech will not delete it, it even fools most anti-virus. The OP is basically trying to con you by saying the virus is an essential function. Long term this is going to slow down your PC and it can also serve as an information logger to whoever is distributing the virus so if you keep personal information of do banking or transactions online they can get your information. The best thing you can do is delete it though command prompt, and stop going to those shadier porn sites.
