the largest items that you likely will store on the computer will be images and 
downloaded files.

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.

someone mentioned a while back about a program that can tell 
you what is taking up the most room - or was it the most 
processes on a 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!
Cris
