The iis6.cab is probably an installation file for iis6 to be called from setup. The IBM folder is not MS but IBM drivers and software.
Technically the all can be removed as the i386 folder is installation files so you don't need a cd or dvd. Personally I wipe and reinstall any oem built machine for these little "extras" to clean them out and only have what big want.

On my wife's win-xp laptop, a huge number of files seem to have showed up
and I have no idea why or what they are for. Hundreds of them seem to be
in these sub-directories:
C:\I386\IIS6.CAB
C:\I386\COMPDATA
C:\IBMWORK\XPLOCALE
C:\IBM\WORK\QVIDEO
How can I figure out what they are for and/or if they can just be safely
deleted (I hope).
On my Linux systems, I know how to capture a list of files, but how can I
do that (via the command line?) on her win-xp machine so I could post
them on a web page.
