Hi.
This really isn't a problem, per se, but I would really like to know what's going on.
My computer generally has a file space used of ~151gb without a restore point, and a space of ~149 with a restore point. So far as I know, restore points are the only things computer generated that can eat up multiple gigabytes of free space.
That is, yesterday, while I was playing Call of Duty 4 for 30 minutes, I checked my disk space and saw that it randomly dropped by 3 gigabytes to ~146.
My computer did not update, my computer did not do anything at all that I know of. But suddenly the file space dropped by 3 gigabytes.
Truth be told, I don't really care that much. I just want to know what happened.
Thanks.

Temporary files...
Is page file size set, or managed by Windows?
~151gb without a restore point, and a space of ~149 with a restore point
What do you mean here? In Vista system restore size is set to the minimum of 30% of free space or 15% of the volume.
