To start with delete all your temporary internet files/cookies via Internet
Explorer tools/internet options - general page. You can do it manually or
use a program like CCleaner that can find and delete a lot of junk on your
computer. You can check your individual folders in your user profile under
documents and settings and most likely your My Documents folder is most of
the file storage. If your applications store your media files there for
music, video, etc it can grow rather quickly. You can move those files to
other folders if you want but I doubt they are the problem. See if CCleaner
helps at all and if you have not done so lately defrag your hard drive and
run CheckDisk selecting the option to fix file problems automatically. In
Windows Explorer select your drive, right click for properties and then
select tools to be able to defrag and use CheckDisk. You wan to run
CheckDisk first. --- Steve
