    I have the accursed Vista:mad: on my Sony VAIO Multimedia Power house

    For some unknown reason my H.D.D is almost full.

    It seems that the culprit is a single folder but I can't determine which folder it is.

    Can anybody tell me how to find this folder easily?

    P.S. Is It possible to get a print out of the folders and their contents?

    Thanks

    Peter

    Here is a nice utility that let you "see" the content of your drive easily, called Sequoia View:

    http://download.cnet.com/SequoiaView/3000-2248_4-10549662.html?tag=mncol

    SequoiaView is a disk browsing tool based on the principle of treemaps, with one unique feature added, namely Cushion Treemaps

    Enjoy!

    Warning! there are two, quite large file on C: namely pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys these are crucial to your system. If you are really hurting for space you may want to disable hibernation (hiberfil.sys). But your best bet is to buy an external drive to store all personal files.
