I’m still not quite sure about where you find how much space there is on your hardrive (My PC runs Windows XP). All I can find is “512 MB of RAM”?
I’m surprised you’re having such a hard time, actually. Here’s how I check the free space on my hard drive:
Open up “My Computer” and just hover the mouse over the drive in question. After a second or two, a tiny window should pop up:
If you want more information, right-click on the drive and choose Properties and you’ll get this considerably more helpful window:
That should give you the information you seek!
i found cccleaner also works well for cleaning old data

I am attempting to back up some files on my computer.I have tried two different burning utility’s.Both give me errors saying that I do not have enough space on my CD or DVD,even tho the files are half the size of the free space on the DVD or CD.I have 1.43 gb’s of free space on my hard drive,if that makes any difference.
Sincere apologies for bothering you but is there a site I can safely download proplus.msi for Office 2003? I don’t have the CD Rom.
Is there a way to get all the freespace from all your drives (including network drives) dumped to text that one can copy to the clipboard?
I run windows XP. how can I use two monitors with a seperate program running independently on each monitor. Is there a way to toggle?
Dell rep. linked me to your site. Grateful for your solutions. Dell however not able to either understand or solve an issue that perhaps you may resolve for me: Somehow(?), I lost the Backup Folder of my E1505 Backup Partition. I still have the partition (D:\drive, 12.5GB); I have not reformatted the Hard Drive; I have not done a re-install of WinXP Pro (SP-2). Any suggestions, please? Thank you. drlou
How to “right-click” on Windows XP over Parallels Desktop over Mac OS X using the one-button of Apple Mac?
I have seen “Emulating right-click in windows under Parallels Desktop”:
http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2006/10/08/emulating-right-click-in-windows-under-parallels-desktop/
but I wonder if there is a better or easier way to do it (eg., by keyboard commands) without installing any software or puchasing another mouse.
Thanks.
Hello. I am running XP Pro…. I’ll keep this short.. I know you can put a locking code on the whole windows system. To prevent other people from opening your windows program. However I would like to put a locking code on a single file. Like for instance in order to open up “let’s say” MY DOCUMENTS you would have to enter a 3 or 4 digit code to enter that file. I don’t want to lock out windows, just a file. Is this possible??? Thanks anxiously awaiting your reply…. DOC
