    Hey

    You can use a Space analyzer like Space Sniffer to find where all the memory is hiding (just tested it and its kinda cool)

    http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/d...

    Simply run and select the hard drive you want analyzed. Then it will display in blocks which folder has the most space usage. The bigger the blocks, the more space being used

    :D

    Theres 2 blue cube icons on the top bar. click them to see more or less detail

    system restore, disable it.

    system restore folder is not fisiable or accessable to a user.

    also have a try of this

    empty your recycle bin, open a folder and type c:\$recycle.bin and then right click in the folder, proporties, if there is more then 1-2 files and a few kb's in there, then you have to reset your recycle bin.
