Windows Vista use up disk space fast ?

[Kee]

Hi,
I just bought a Thinkpad T61 laptop 1 week ago and new to Windows Vista. It
comes with 160GB hard drive and loaded with Vista Business.

After loading Office 2007, Acrobat v8 Std and about 20-25GB of data to the
new laptop. I realize that 2 days ago I am left with only about 7GB of hard
drive space.

Where does all the disk space gone to ? Can anyone offer any help.....does
Vista take up some much space.

remove the pr0n images from your "temporary internet files" folder maybe
Honestly, I have no idea, and I can't confirm this.
Try this tool maybe:

Perform a Disk Cleanup:

Click on the blue Vista start button and then on the Computer
entry in the Start Menu. Right-click on your hard drive and
select Properties > Disk Cleanup > Files from all users.....
More Options > Clean Up (System Restore and Shadow Copies).
