Hey guys,
I got my laptop back from my little sis (to hold me over until my supercomputer gets here), and I was shocked to see she had filled up 98% of my 20 gig hard drive. Even more suprising was the fact that her music and graphics file took up less than 1 gig. Digging in deeper, I realized that MS Internet Explorer cache ("Temporary Internet Files") folder was takening tons and tons of space. I tried deleting it through windows and as well as clearing it from IE itself but it would crash on both. I then resorted to a good old dos prompt and the del /s command which seems to doing the trick. It's been running well over 1 hour on a Pentium 900 mhz processor. Anyone run into something similar? And yeah yeah I know switch to Firefox, I actually had installed it for my sister but she's a bit of a tard.
