Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / December 2006what the size of ur windows folder
hi there ! i'm running Windows vista RTM 6000 i wonder why windows folder size is about 8GB is there any way to reduce this size or delete unnesesry folders can i disable paging file? AFTER INSTALLING this windows my 4 USB ports doesn't work hellllllllllllllllllp p4 3GHZ MB intel945P 1GB RAM HD 250GB Its enough fit an entire installation of linux with thousands of applications and with enough space to throw in a complete installation of XP with a hundred applications installed. THATS the size of my vista windows folder Who said anything about vista bloat?

Did someone stick a penguin up your as*? Xp is the best OS Microsoft ever made, and is better than OSX (becuase everything is made for windows, its not the os that much) or any version of linux (for desktop use). But vista is trash.. and if you like it, it means you know nothing about computers and you are stupid. No, you are stupid nevetheless... if you like vista, you are just extra stupid.

The result is a faster installation even though a bit more is written to the disk than truly needed. Vista comes on a DVD now, not on CD :) Disk space is cheap anyway! 8GB is less than 5% of most new hard drives nowadays. Mine is 7.5 gB. The paging file shouldn't make any difference in the size as it'll be located in the root of your system drive (C: usually). I've moved mine to another drive and didn't see the performance increase that I saw when doing this in XP. - John > hi there ! > i'm running Windows vista RTM 6000 i wonder why windows folder size > is about 8GB Because Vista does a lot and isn't shy about using a lot of disk space to help itself with that. It's the "correct" size for a Vista install. Right now I'm still thinking about what sort of disk requirements I'm going to suggest to people who ask me about running Vista, and the OS partition is definately going to be a minimum of 50Gb free in my guidelines. > is there any way to reduce this size or delete unnesesry > folders Not a substantial amount, no. There certainly isn't a laundry list of things we can tell you to "just delete". For a start, how can we tell you what isn't needed when you don't tell us what you use the computer for? For example, I would personally want to try and get rid of media centre because i don't use that, but telling you to delete a bunch of media centre files isn't really helpful if you want to use your computer as a media centre. > can i disable paging file? That depends. Do you prefer trying to use your computer when it's working, or do you prefer trying to use your computer when it isn't working? > AFTER INSTALLING this windows my 4 USB ports doesn't work > hellllllllllllllllllp I suggest you trot along to the Intel website and download motherboard drivers, that will hopefully help. thanks alot any way! yes i need to delete media center files i'm not using it i downloaded the last inf update from intel and the problem still although the 4 ports of USB works fine in same time on my another OS XP without instaling driver > > hi there ! > > i'm running Windows vista RTM 6000 i wonder why windows folder size [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > I suggest you trot along to the Intel website and download motherboard > drivers, that will hopefully help. My Windows folder is a mere 3.82 GB > hi there ! > i'm running Windows vista RTM 6000 i wonder why windows folder size is [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > hellllllllllllllllllp > p4 3GHZ MB intel945P 1GB RAM HD 250GB |
