My machine went crazy. It changed to XP NTFS from FAT32
over night. Now this sounds crazy, but it did it all on
its own. 6 days ago I defraged, had 49% free space. I
worked on some photos, and decided as they were large to
defrag again. Well it told me that it was impossible as
it only had 12% of free space available, and then asked
me if I wanted to, to clean out clutter.There ended up
being 4 gigabytes of temp files from only using the
computer for 6 pictures from 5 days back. It also changed
my system to NT!!! And also Outlook changed all of the
menu bars. I am and always stay updated on patches, and
daily check Symantec for virus upgrade definitions on my
4 computers. Only this computer changed to NT from FAT32.
Can anyone out there in computer Lala land give me a
clue? All is running well, however I would sure love to
know what the hell happened, and to get back those lost
giga spaces I had before. Tom
