hi all... my C: drive is getting a little full andi was wondering where all those space consuming files were, ao i found three pretty big ones in c:\ ...
Now, i know i shouldn't delete that pagefile one but how about the others? is it totally going to crash my system or are they only necessary for some special tasks... all advice appreciated

Turn hibernate off, and the hiberfil.sys is gone. Leave the pagefile.sys but you can make it smaller if you want. And the other file w9xundo.dat is there probely because you did a upgrade. If you delete it, you can't uninstall xp and go back to 98.
