Hard drive disk space

I'm running a laptop with only 1.34 gig hard drive and seem to always be
running out of disk space. I have deleted all the programs I don't need,
clean out the internet.temp file almost daily, and have run  "disk cleanup".
Finally got down to where I had about 350MB of free space. Then without
doing anything different I am suddenly back to only about 100MB. I've run
AdAware on a regular basis, scanned for viruses and I cannot figure where
all this stuff (about 200 MB) came from or where it is on my disk.

Anybody have any ideas??

You may need to enable "Show Hidden and System files".

Are you using any Norton utilities? Norton Protected Storage?
