Hi guys,
I got to use TreeSize and it has actually given me a very good picture of the disks. For instance on 2 machines, the paging file had been allocated 30GB and another 40GB. I was able to change that to 2 and 4GB, thereby freeing a lot of good space. Where that came from I have no idea.
Some Jua Kali techie. The general rule of the thumb, IIRC, was that swap (aka Pagefile) whould be 2.5*RAM. More is good of course, but generally useless. Swap on disk has no dignificant benefit really, as it serves to just slow down the machine. The disk speed is not as fast as RAM. However, putting swap file/pagefile on an SSD has obvious benefits. If someone needed more memory, they should have bought more RAM:-)
The first thing I did was to download and run the Kaspersky rescue disk but after scanning I came up with blanks (its actually a Linux distro I think, a live CD running KDE, which got me wondering, is there a Win live CD? I digress)
So, the next thing that I have noted from most of the PCs is that they have very large zip files under the C:\users\...\AppData\local\Temp folders. These are the culprits. I am tempted to clean this temp folder but am not sure if these are important files or not. I am trying to get a screenshot and I will post it here for advise. Any takers?
They are temp files and will not affect any programs fatally. You should read about Windows Temp files, hata wewe:-)
Anyway, it's easy to start in Safe Mode and delete all temp files. No loss will be incurred.

I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
