problem freeing harddrive space
Hi everyone..
I have a maybe stupid question.. I am trying to free up hard drive space, yet it seems although I dont have many things listed when I look at my add/remove programs in the control panel, I am still low on harddrive space..and I frequently get a notice saying so. I do have things listed in my add/remove that I simply dont know what they are but they have always been there such as Turbo Project v.4 and NetActive Launcher (what are those and do I need to keep them?) What is a good way to free up hard drive space, since I am obviously overlooking something somewhere... Ive uninstalled everything I think I can take off safely.. What else could be lurking? Where is the best place to look? Thanks in advance.. Tarcia

problem freeing harddrive space
A couple of freeware utilities which might help locate what's taking up
space. A) WinDirStat - http://windirstat.info/ B) Dfolder Size v3.2 - http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?ID=620 Both work well with WinMe. Mart "Honeysweet" wrote in message ...
