System Volume Information from XP Pro

[ttan98]

Refers to my T23 laptop. The folder containing the system vol. Info
seems to be very large , 3.5G of data.

My other T22 laptop which is older, only holds 500Mb of data.

Can anly advise me on how to reduce the data stored in the T23? I have
already removed all the restored points except the most recent one.

Thanks.

Hi,

Open System properties by right clicking "My Computer" or accessing it in
the control panel. On the system restore tab, click on settings, then reduce
the percentage of drive space allotted to this function.

The System Volume Information is the folder in which WinXP's
System Restore feature stores information used to recover from errors.
By default, WinXP sets aside a maximum of 12% of the partition's size
for storing System Volume Information, but the amount of space set
aside for this purpose can be adjusted by the user. Start > All
Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore > System
Restore Settings, select the pertinent partition and click Settings.
