(PS, for those illiterate in the German langauge, the title says: "Whoo! I have Visual Studio.net 2003!")
EDIT: Hold on a tick, BerliOS says TASpring uses Python! I have (and am also learning) Python too. Go me. Is it possible to edit and "compile" it using Python? (Python doesn't compile stuff like C++ does)
I've got rid of a load of programs that I know I don't use (games and stuff like The Softimage XSI for HL2 that, while free, has the worst GUI imaginable, and thus I never use it). Probably saved about 200-ish Mb
EDIT: Done more than that! Was: 99Mb free. Now: 6.71 GB free. Defragmenting should bump that up a notch too
Defragging isn't made for freeing up space, it simply reorganizes files so they are continuous on the drive platters, that way the drive doesn't have to jump around as much so things tend to load faster. By all means, defrag, it's a good thing... but don't expect it to magically pull hard drive space out of its ass.
nah, you'd be surprised the crap people insist on having on their hardrive, even though it has no purpose ro use.
The people who insist on having 2 Antivirus programs on their systems, both actively running at the same time. They're thinking 2x must eb better when they dont realize that in a lot of cases it's just as abd as havign no antivirus at all. Or the guy who has MS Office 2003, but insist on keeping MS Office 2000 and 97 installed, and ontop of that has MS Works 7 installed and then decides to upgrade by installing works 8 aswell. Thats a good few GB wasted.
And they have all this useless crap set to run on autostart too ^_^, no wonder they go through so many new computers, they dont know how to keep them running at their premium in the first place.
Oh and check your Temporary files Windows caches, I found over 2 GB of old stuff that windows shoved in their and left to rot, that was just getting bigger and bigger (this out after you run an installer, especialyl after an AOL install, and try not to use IE). Other than that, the only thing that should make your freespace trickle away are games and music/movies. Installers and other 'warez' is best kept on disc.
