How Big is your "program files" folder?

windowsvista · 03-24-2008, 01:52 PM

mine only 8Gb but then again this is my internet computer.

Mines way over 20GB, i think nowadays if you have say S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Crysis installed on your computer then that's over 20GB in its self.

Is vk3fcll asking for the size of C:\ or C:\Program Files? Because there is a huge difference in size between those two for me. C:\Program Files does not include my movies, music, system files etc etc.

I don't have a C:/Program Files (I don't even have drive C)

but my root folder (/) is about 4GB, that includes system files and files in my home folder too.
