If you use this amount of space on a Windows XP computer - it is * your * stuff taking up by.  Windows XP with * sorts * installed applications take about 10 GB of space - usually not much more.  The 'all kinds of applications' would include office suites, graphics suites, video editing suites, etc.  Is more likely, whatever it is above the mark of ~ 10 GB * your * stuff.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...
(These instructions will be different depending on the version of IE that run you.)

-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

      A loss of main surface within each user profile would be penchant of EI for the storage of copies (or much) of almost every web page, your friend has already visited.  Try to reduce the amount of temporary Internet files put in cache, which is huge by default.  I always bring it back to a maximum of 50 MB.  In Internet Explorer, click on tools > Internet Options > general, temporary files > settings.

      Same principle for the Java cache. Start > Control Panel > Java > temporary Internet files > settings.

      The System Volume Information is the folder in restoration of which WinXP system feature stores information to retrieve errors.  By default, Windows XP sets aside a maximum of 12% of the size of the partition to store the information of the System Volume, but the amount of space reserved for this purpose can be adjusted by the user.  Start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > System Restore Settings, select the relevant partition and click settings.  If you don't want to use the system at all, restore simply to turn off System Restore (start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system, System Restore settings restore) and restart.  This will remove all your Restore Points, thus freeing up hard disk space.

      An another great space waster may be trash.  By default, it takes up to 10% of the capacity of your hard drive. On today's big hard disks, it's a lot of waste.  It can be set to a lower limit by right clicking the desktop Receycle Bin icon, select Properties, and using the scroll bar to reduce the maximum size to something more reasonable - 1% to 2% should be more than enough space.

      I'm trying to free up space on my computer to uninstall programs I don't have.  I currently have 70 programs installed and I noticed that the 2 are for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x 64), 3 are for Microsoft Visual c++ 2008 Redistributable - x 64 9.0.3, 3 are for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x 86 9.0.3, 1 for redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (x 64) 11.0 and 1 Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable 2013 (x 64) 12.0.  Can I uninstall the older programs and just keep the most recent, or do I have to keep all these?  My Factory Image drive (D :) showed currently that I have 1.57 GB free to 10.6 GB.

      Remove programs to save the workspace is virtual waste of time.  They take up very little space.  The real culprits are usually videos and movies.

      Hello

      Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

      If I understand correctly, you have for the songs duplicate entries in Windows Media Player.

      Please answer these questions:

      What are the options have you tried to remove duplicate entries from Windows Media Player?

      When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library, if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

      Let us try the following methods:

      Method 1: Try the following article, if you have not yet tried:

      Remove items from the Windows Media Player library:

      http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/remove-items-from-the-Windows-Media-Player-library

      Method 2: See the following article:

      Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library:

      http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

      Method 3: See the following steps:

      a. exit Windows Media Player.

      b. Click Start, run, type Player, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media , andclicknext OK.

      c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

      Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

      d. restart Windows Media Player.

      Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

      Method 4: Clear the cache of database Windows Media Player files. To do this, follow these steps:

      a. exit Windows Media Player.

      b. Click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

      c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

      d. restart Windows Media Player.

      Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    • I am currently using Lightroom 4. I bought the IMac with the largest memory, but he has quickly filled. To conserve space on my computer, I bought a hard drive and I tried to get my lightroom back up there. (I don't know if I did it correctly or not

      I am currently using Lightroom 4. I bought the IMac with the largest memory, but he has quickly filled. To conserve space on my computer, I bought a hard drive and I tried to get my lightroom back up there. (I don't know if I did it correctly or not) Now, all my photos in Lightroom are "offline or missing", and I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      I guess you mean not memory and disk space, you want to clear space on the internal drive. Is this correct?

      If you have moved your photos somehow (this is not a backup), please follow these instructions to reconnect photos in Lightroom. Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

      In addition, you must (it is obligatory) make real backups of your database catalog and photos, that means accurate identical copies, made by a method automated and placed on a different physical disk than the originals. Lightroom allows you to make backups of your files of catalog on a regular basis, it is an option under the catalog settings. To make backups of your photos, you need some third party software to do.

    • How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?

      Original title: find firewalls

      How can I find what firewall is running on my computer?  I have used norton, mcafree, avg in the past.  All have been removed through programs removal program.  I turned off my windows firewall and Security Center says I still have firewalls.  I can't access itunes store or download programs (such as the overdrive media).  I don't have a router, but have tried that disconnect and connect the computer directly to the modem.  Still have the problem.

      Security applications - especially those of McAfee and Norton - cannot be completely removed using the control panel > Add / Remove programs.

      For McAfee, see http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS100507 which explains how to use the McAfee Consumer Products Removal (that you can get the link in this article).

      For Norton, see https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

      For AVG, see http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

      If for some reason you want to reinstall everything before (that I do not recommend), don't forget to make a record of your license key before uninstalling.  The links above should explain how to do this.

      Some motherboards with nVidia chipsets include a hardware firewall (nVidia ActiveArmor).  I'm not positive on how to determine if you have this or not, but I suggest starting with a glance at the "network adapter" section of the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK).

      PS: even if you're experienced, do not use your router.  It provides a layer of protection between you and the Internet, if you connect with all firewalls disabled.
