How do you determine what is windows and what is other programs and
files?

The page file is NOT IN the Windows folder.

My Windows folder is 1.78 GB on disk and 1.97 GB total. 7.81 GB used on my C drive(page file is 1 GB of that). Documents, pictures, email, newsgroups, etc. and some large programs are on different drives.

My Windows folder reports 6.56GB out of the 42GB of space used. Sounds like
you're fine.

What on EARTH have you got in there? Mine (with SP2 is ONLY 2.05GB!)

Since I did beta testing on some things like Virtual Server and have both
Visual Studio .Net and 2005 beta plus the Express betas, I suppose the
number of system files get rather large. I don't take a census. I was just
chiming in to give the poster an idea of the range of sizes the Windows
folder can assume. Why?
