Where does the extra space come from? - Page 2

Oh, I had this same problem before.

It just went like this, the 2nd partition in my HDD has increased to around 15GB, but this is not something good to see.

The partition is only 5GB. Where on earth I get 15GB suddenly?

So I ran scandisk. Must be something in my HDD.

Did you scan your disk? Maybe the partition must be reporting the wrong drive capacity.

If you are using win xp.. thier is a way to remove all the webpage junk that is stored on your pc.. cookie cleaning programs do not see this folder and i have yet to find a program that does.. to do this correctly shut off msn and messanger yahho stuff.. all the extra programs then go here

Start/run/ type in %temp%/ then look to left for locals~1/Temporary Internet files/Content.IE5/ now see the folder index.dat ? DO not delete that.. go ahead and browse through some of them folders and see what ya got.. all the pics from webpages are stored here.. delete all of em. Enjoy

Ps.. a nice program that moniters your pc for start up programs is Scotty the watchdog.. google for it and tell me what ya think
