winsxs Bloat

[Dad]

Hi,

My laptop's winsxs folder bloated to 7.75GB of a 60GB disk. This
appears to be rather large especially for a modest laptop with few
applications. This happened rather suddenly. It adds substantially
to
backups as well. (By contrast, winsxs on my XP desktop is a few
hundred MB). Is there any help for this?

I am running Vista Premium SP1 on an HP572 laptop.

Thanks,
Gary

not
be of interest to you what may be of more use is the very end of the
article and the information on SP1 Files
