My computer information is:
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 6 Stepping 5 GenuineIntel ~3000 MHz
Total Physical Memory 2,048.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 1.04 GB
I have no idea, but I hope that is sufficient.
I have two hard drives, the first (a Hitachi) is divided into 3 logical drives of 10 gig, 25 gig and 42 gig, more or less, and the other is one 120 gig drive (no particular manufacturer, but the model # is ST3250310AS). (This division wasn't due to any kind of sensible plan, just formatting on the fly.) The 10 gig drive is my C: drive, and I'm waaaaayy out of space on it. Only 50 or so MB of space left, not enough to take any of the advice that I saw in the forums for similarly positioned petitioners. I run Cleanup every day (without compressing the drive) and when I"m asked if I want to delete programs, I really want to, but on the Add/Remove list that's in the Control Panel, I can't find where the programs are located. No point deleting programs that are on the E:, F:, or G: drives.
At first, I thought I might try a clean install of the OS, but mousing around in the forums here, I only found references to doing that in response to error messages or problems that are happening, but I have no problems, the system runs just fine. Just I have that "you're out of space" reminder popping up all the time. I guess my question is this: is there a way to find out exactly where each program is located? and also, does anyone have a suggestion, besides the obvious "don't use the smallest drive as your C:"?
Really appreciate your time and thought.
