Now the best way to keep those controlled is to have an image folder -- XP uses a generic My Pictures, My Video For downloads, create a folder called My Downloads and then when downloading, be sure to create a named folder for the d/l and the link to the site and when you have done the install, move that folder into another one inside My Downloads called Installed Files. Images, Videos and anthing you you don't use a lot can be saved on an external HDD or burned to CD/DVD Frankly I'd simply get another HDD and an external for BU and keep the items accessible on the computer.

Does anyone recall what that program was? I need to do some major cleaning - fast! and need to know what some of the big files are that are stored on my computer so I can either burn them or dump them!! Thanks!
