Localization (language) files for a specific language which correspond to the number assigned to these folders. These folders remain empty unless Windows XP Professional is localized for this particular language.
 
An example of this would be Office 2000 and XP in USA use 1033 as their default.
 
I believe it would ok to delete them, yet I see no need as they are not occupying space.

I believe that dll does application error reporting .... if you want to feel free ... if windows 2000 disagrees WFP will restore it.
