Winsxs is HUGE - thanks win_vista

Where exactly is this folder located? I'll have to check mine after my PC gets back up and running. Curious to how large mine is after about month and a half of operation.

c:\windows\winsxs

Anybody running 64-bit Vista ought to expect that folder to be large... it has to contain a 32-bit version of every 64-bit DLL file to be used by 32-bit apps.

Yeah, the price of 64bit, I'm afraid.

Only until software developers either start offering all their apps in both 32-bit and native 64-bit versions, or developers standardize enough and write clean enough code that everything can be compiled on the end-users machine Gentoo-esque
