Two different questions, wallpaper and memory usage

[WizardFlyer]

Question 1: I have had a spyware pop-up and it was a XP 'impersonator'. It had two X's to x it out and I clicked the wrong one and it automatically installed a few wallpapers on my computer. Can anyone tell me how to delete these wallpapers? I have alr
eady removed the spyware completely, but that didn't work.

Question 2: When I got my Dell 4600, it had 95% free gigabyte space. When I went to reinstall XP, it didn't work half way through and I spent 3 hrs on technical support. After all of this was completed, I finally got my XP back and all the drivers insta
lled. But there was less files installed on the computer. However, only 78% free space is available. I tried defragmenting Drive C, and doing a disk clean up.

1. Wallpapers can be deleted if you know the names by doing a Search of your
harddrive, rightclick and click delete.
2. You probably have a partial partition that was created by the incomplete install
of XP. A Partitioning program can delete that partition, or you can try the
below free partition program. Be very careful of what you are doing before
deleting ANYTHING!

Problem solved, Drive C: was not formatted, and that needed to be done as well as partition 2 deleted

already removed the spyware completely, but that didn't work.
