Hard drive stays full, Help!!!
I want to print out a list of everything on my comp, and how much space it uses. About 85-95 % of my hard drive stays full. I want to be able to clear things I will never need. What software program will I need to use?
Thanks mailliw

into control panel, add/remove programs, should list majority of things installed in there along with how big they are and how often used

i suggst you do it the other way around,
get everything you do need. docs, mp3s, jpg etc and burn them to disk or transfer to i pod or summing. and reformat the hard drive, this saves time and gets rid of everything you dont need

ok, good point, so go through all folders you might have used thougrougly.
also instead of add/remove programs. try actually exploring the program files in the c: dir
