OK. Then, I won't bother doing that then.


If you are able to install and uninstall programs, you could go through
and uninstall any programs that aren't needed any longer. There are
most likely a lot of Windows patch folders that could be moved from
c:\windows to D: or E: (in the unlikely event they would ever need to be
uninstalled, they could be copied back to c:\windows). You could free
up hundreds of megs on C: by doing that. Learn more about that by

Yeah, I have tossed a lot of stuff out already especially SP2, hot
fixes, etc.


Your pagefile on C: is already at a minimum size.

Yes.


My bigger concern would be your "backup and archive" drive E:. It
appears there is only one hard drive in this workstation. So if your IT
dept. isn't backing up your local data to a server, or if your main data
isn't stored on a server and backed up, I would ask the IT people about
that. Because if you are backing up to E: thinking it's safe, it's a
false sense of security. If the hard drive fails you will lose C: D:
and E:, so you lose everything.

I do make weekly backups manually to a server as an offline and shared
backup. I use E: drive as my local storage.
