Not kidding 67G. The thing was, it's only a 80 G hard drive .... so she mentioned (at lunch ... she invited me over for lunch) that she thought she had a computer virus, but when she tried to download the antivirus software, she got a message that there was no room on the computer for it.
So .... I looked at the properties of her hard drive. Yep, it showed all 80G as used.
Next step was I looked at her documents folder, which was a little less than 1G. Looked at her programs folder ... little less than 8G. Next step was to run a search for tmp files to see what might be taking up all the rest of that space .... and this ginormous 67,000,000 byte file shows up as an IE update installation temp file.
So, I went into msconfig, hid the MS system files in services, disabled all the rest. Started the computer back up. Deleted all the TMP files. Downloaded and installed FF. Uninstalled IE completely, then ran msconfig again, started up her other services, and restated her computer.
Lo and behold .... she now has an 80 G hard drive showing 67G free.
She kept looking at me and saying .... "Is there anything you CAN'T do??"
