My last page posted here seemed to go over well, so I figure I'll see what you folks think about my most recent endeavor.

(By the way, this is applicable to 2000 as well, at least in most cases).

I've seen posted frequently on other sites - and here - questions that are basically asking:

How do I clean off my C: drive - I'm running out of space

or

How do I expand my C: drive - I need more space

Though similar, they are different questions. There are, of course, many opinions and I'm sure some will disagree with me, but I invite you all to take a read - maybe you'll learn something you didn't know about (like moving the DLLCache folder or ServicePackFiles folder).

Ok, enough blabbering, here's the link to the article:


I welcome all comments - positive and negative - my goal is to make this page as accurate and beneficial as possible - if you have what you believe are better instructions/links, feel free to tell me - if you review my other pages, I do TRY to give credit to those who contribute.

And for those that wonder, I would consider posting it here in it's full text form - except that I can't modify my posts here - only supplement them with additional ones, so I prefer hosting the site myself - sorry.
