Windows Me??

[BadBen]

Can I delete the folder name "_RESTORE" in the root directory which is C:?Its also a hidden folder.

Because this folder is 528mg and im dual booting with Win2k (two 1.5g partion and one 10g partition). So now I only have 68mg left because of that folder.

Only if you never plan on having to restore your system due to a crash unless you use a 3rd party app to do your backups

Hahahah i tried to do that but windowsME just created it again after i rebooted. If space is an issue you can change how much WinMe uses for Restore. Control Panel ->System->Performance-> File System.

You can disable the restore feature, I did. You can also adjust the size of the restore file.

I am not in ME now so I can't quite remember how I did it.

Let me reboot to get it right. BRB

Ok right click the My computer Icon then select properties then select the Performance tab then click on the File System button (here is where you can adjust the amount of disk space system restore uses, I think 200MB is the Min.) then click the troubleshooting tab and at the bottom of the list check Disable System Restore.


Or you can get to it the way cracker009 said then click on the Troubleshooting tab.


That should do it for ya.

I look at it this way, if it crashes so bad I need to do a system restore the OS needs to be GONE!!!
