Answer 1

The reason your disk space is going down each time you run the internet would be caused the fact that when you go to a page, it loads and saves onto your disk; "temporary" (not really temp) internet files and cookies, which then stay on your computer. ANd this is why you are losing disk space.

Thus making it important to remove these types of files.

Now, I believe that the directory to these files is:

C:\Documents and Settings\"User name"\Cookies

and

C:\Documents and Settings\"User Name"\Temporary Interet Files

However, if you're not that computer savvy and have noidea what I just did + you want to remove extra junk on your computer in just one press of a button, I would highly reccomend downloading and using CCleaner.

CCleaner is a program that goes throughout your computer and deletes usseless files like temporary internet files, cookies, and other various things.

I use it regularly, and it is trustworthy.

SO yeah, there's ur problem, and the solution,.

SO I hope all goes well

Ooh, to download CCleaner just go to google and type "Download CCleaner"
