Hi,
The next, what can you to do is, that you'll delete in internet explorer
properties all temporary files.
And if aren't you using hibernation, that on control panel and power option
can disable this.
On computer properties and on the tab advanced you can on the first option
and I don't know which cart but probably the second there is file for
swapping, which is big too.
And you can delete with total cmd or something another not with stupid
explorer temp folder.
With best regards,
Marek Durila

Hi Don,
Something that might be hogging space on your partition, are old restore
points, and old install files for Windows updates.
The old files can be identified by a name beginning and ending with the $
sign.
You will need to have all files and folders shown, to see these files in:
C:\Windows
These files can be safely deleted.
Now, to the restore points:
You can delete all but the last restore point by doing the following:
1. From My Computer, select Local Disk C, and open the properties.
2. When this dialogue opens, you will be on the general tab,
so tab once to the disk cleanup button, and spacebar that.
3. Let Windows do it's calculations, and when it is finished, tab to the
disk cleanup tab.
4. Once you are on this tab, press the right arrow key once to move to the,
more options, tab.
5. Tab until you come to the system restore cleanup button, and spacebar
that.
Just answer okay to the ensuing dialogue, and let it do it's thing.
When it is done, move to the tools tab, and then tab to the disk
defragmenter button, and follow the prompts.
If you need more help, just sing out.
HTH,
