-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Full hard drive - what makes it full?

Hello Cris,
go to Start> My Computer
when it opens right click on the C drive
Choose " Explore "
if it does not show the details click on View>
Details> if the don't show the file size click on 
View> Choose details> File size

You may have to scroll sideways to see all the information.

You should now be able to view all the files on the 
C drive and their size.

PS: a shorcut to "Explore" is Windows key and the letter E 
      "Explore" is a method/program to explore files and 
       programs it is not the same as the browser
      "Internet Explorer" AKA  as IE

I have looked in folders - and moved off files that I am 
aware of. I have a slew of programs installed, but I don't 
believe that I have 80 gigs full of programs!
I don't believe that I have any malware either. I am just 
missing something!

Eon's ago, someone mentioned a program to tell you what was 
on your hard drive according to size - or something like 
that! Does anyone know what that is? Or how do I determine 
what is on my computer that is taking up so much room? I 
only have 6 gb left of free space! That is getting 
frighteningly low! especially because I would like to 
install a few little programs!

Thanks!!
