this is for all you people who want to know why your running out of space on Drive C running windows Me

The system restore program in windows Me by defalt it WILL USE 1.5gig's of drive C. for it's temp back up files.
if you go into device mangler, Performance, file system, then you can change that amount down to 200meg max.

if you do not want to use the system restore program and free up all that hard drive space while in the filesystem of device mangler go into trouble shooting and disable
system restore from there.

Then your going to have to go into C:\_restore change the veiw to Show all files, hidden system files to
beable to see the temp file open it and delete every thing thats in there>

hope this helps some of you http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I noticed the same thing last night and deleted over 1 gig of rubbish (I keep backups of my OS using Drive Image Pro etc).

Well worth looking into if you are short on disk space.

Thanks for the info Scotter.
