Disk Space Decreasing

[Mark]

It seems each time I start my computer, I unexpectedly
lose as much as .5Gig of space. I had 30 Gigs a couple of
weeks ago and now only have 11Gigs. I have not downloaded
20 Gigs of files in 2 weeks. Where is my disc space going?

Mark,

There are several Windows features that may use excessive HD space:

System Restore (probably your case) = ~ 12% of hard drive
Virtual memory (Page File) = ~ RAM (memory)
Temporary Files
Internet Temporary Files (depends on settings)

Hope this helps!
