Alright I'm using Windows 98SE. No I don't want to switch to XP because I don't want to pay 400+ dollars for it to use on both my computers...yadda yadda. Anyway I have both my computers set up with about a 650mb partition just for Windows. I figured this would be enough space. I don't install anything in it. There is currently about 70megs of space left on the partition. I think that is plenty of wasted space but apparently Windows constantly thinks it needs more. I have my internet temp cache turned low and I constantly clear the cookies,temp, etc. and yet Windows will sometimes tell me that it's running low on space and that I should clean some files up. I've tried checking the box that says don't automatically do a clean up when the drive runs low but that is not helpful. It basically tells me it's running low on space whenever I run a virus scan or perhaps when downloading something from the web. It's really just an annoyance but one I would like to get rid of. I plan on reformatting soon but I don't see why I should give Windows a bigger partition when it's not using the space it has. Any suggestions?
