Or do like me. Use it as much as possible to "economize" on the other disks
in my machine. Sound weird? Of course it does.
What I'm doing, is this:
The bad drive will contain following files/folders:
*TEMP -folder
*Temporary Internet Files
*Log (internet explorer. Change this in reistry)
*Recent -folder. Contains 100-eds of link files.
*Several programs have their own temporary folder. For each program, I
change that folders location to the bad drive.
Common for all the files/folders abowe, is that they doesn't contains
anything that I cannot effort to loose.
