    you can. some programs use them to operate though.

    going to Add/Remove programs to free up space is not always the smartest solution to freeing up space - and by that I mean its "dumb" in the sense that you may actually be missing entirely where all of your space has gone. It may very well be hidden away in your documents or music folders or elsewhere.

    The quickets way to map out where all of your data is at, is to download and run Windirstat. Its a very light but powerful little utility that does a pass on your file tree and shows you visually which files are largest and where they're located.

    Sorry, I'm only noticing this thread now. For future reference, I suggest switching off the automatic Windows updates as they can sometimes prevent other software from working (and in many cases you don't even need the update).

    The updates are released every month I think, and so I just check them a few days after it hits the 1st of each month.

    I switch off automatic updates for every application I use once I have installed it and I haven't been running any anti-virus software on my machine for two years now.

    Kevin
