I don't know when the XP started eating up my disk space; The system will run for nothing when I'm idle (do nothing LOL). OK, I check that my profile (Sys Properties --> Advanced --> User Profiles [Settings]), Oh mygod! 377MB ~ I disable for anything I won't used, but the system still run itself;
Anybody got this problem too??
Or tell me how to disable this!
How big is your HD? that might be cause by the system rollback option in XP its very convinient thing to have if you mess around with your system alot and since you arent supposed to have XP yet I take it that you like to mess around with it. Get a bigger HD if you have anything under 10 GB thats what i would suggest.

I had this problem too.. try turning off the suspend to disk options under the power management advanced. By default I think it is set to allow enough space for all of your RAM to be copied to the hard drive before it enters suspend mode.

It's probably just the same thing as system restore in Windows Me. As restore points are made, the backed up settings use up disk space. I don't know about XP, but Windows Me can use up to 12% of the hard drive to store restore points unless you reset it to use less disk space.

Well, system restore will eat up gigs and gigs of your HD. You can reduce the amount of space system restore uses.

I had a similar problem. On my PC it was the function to use network files offline, which means it copies them all to a temp folder. My My Documents folder was on a network drive, it was over 10gb, and XP decided to back all of this up, therefore eating all of my hard disk space.
So if your computer is on a Local Area Network, then disable this feature ASAP, as it is enabled by default.

Take into account that when your system will crash and scandisk will report chains recovered,then it creates a folder named FOUND with all of those files.That can be massive.The folder is hidden.SO find it, see if you can recognise anything in there and delete the folder. Imagine that my system crashed in the middle of the moving of Autocad and it restored all the files(255MB) as File00001,file00002 etc. I lost everything.Anyway,good luck and try to remember.XP is hungry for MEgs!!
