18391 2001-09-07 11:34:00 When looking at the sizes of some programs, I noticed that the windows folder (c:\windows) was 350MB and it took up nearly 470MB. ('469,367,680 bytes used').
Is there anything that Ican do to change that to free up some HDD space?

18393 2001-09-07 12:23:00 The windows folder tends to grow the longer it has been installed, its just a windows thing.

The internet exploiter 'Tempory Internet Files' by default can get absolutely huge. Delete everything in it, then using the internet control panel, to limit its size to ~10-20MB.

I would do a clean install, its the only real solution. About once a year seems to keep it under control (although im about every 6 months).
