What ho one and all,

I have a Dell running W7 that I only use for viewing TV over the internet (either live or catch-up) or playing DVD or USB thumbdrive with whatever film as a mp4 (or whatever.)

Recently, encountered a problem that I think I have resolved, but in defragging, I found that the 40gb C partition is over 3/4 full. Since I only have W7 and a few programs that are not space hungry, I checked. Found that folder Windowsxs is around 15gb, much larger than the W7 program files.

Doing a Google search, and it seems that I should neither delete or reduce this folder, but surely there must be a way to reduce its size? And prevent it continually growing?

Thanks and toodle pip
