Buffer: Bingo, Ya got it. See I don't set my computer up like this default settings. I do it this way. I cut down the garbage can to 5% then if I want to delete a gig folder that I absolutly know that I'll never need again I hold down the shift key when I click delete. It's gone, no garbage can. it just deletes. I just did the search, you gotta select all drives then advanced then "not more" then 0 kb. How many did I find here? None, not a single one. I keep a really clean machine. Since the garbage can is now smaller I set my min swap file (pagefile.sys on Windoz 2000), size instead to 1024 (1 gig) and no max. If you don't have Norton you better make sure you don't have a fragged drive before you try such a trick. Norton will put the swap file first and it will be continous so as not to slow down your computer.
