Q: 

What is the suffix called in this example: HelloWorld.exe_Url_sbgzldmathiegtnjmnawytpet03ycanv?

Hello,

I have a question about the very long random looking suffix that is appended to directories created in the AppData folder when saving user preferences from a C# .NET Windows forms application.

For example:

C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Acme\HelloWorld.exe_Url_ei0yyv33jvrgjqybolgkilwx2u1i32lq\

The problem that I'm having is that I don't know the name of this thing other than "the really really long string of junk appended to the filename", so I'm not able to post questions about it or search for answers.

Is there a name for this? Is it a "strong name" or "url security string", etc?

Thanks!
