Saving space on the hard drive

[johnboy1974]

Guys I'm running windows vista on a sony vaio laptop and noticing not much space left on the 120gb hard drive. I clean up and defrag at least once a month and have nothing that I believe is a big file. Is there any programs you can recommend that can search for hidden files that are large and show you where they are?.

check ur temp files, you may have many left over, even if Windows should delete them.

also think about gettinga usb hard drive to add all your programs on and use the laptop for ur OS

Thats what CCleaner does clears all the temp crap but he wont help himself with using newer software(o/s) n hardware (hdd)

You can use windows explorer to display all files over a size you specify, just leave the file name blank and under "what size is it" specify a size like 10000KB make sure More advanced options have search hidden files and sub directories checked.
