I use vista home premium, my hard drive showed 16gb used space when I
installed all my programmes etc, but this figure keeps going up, it is now
20.5 gb and I havn't put anything extra in at all, can anyone explain this
please.

Perhaps due to additional restore points being created as time passes.

Since you keep using your system for new things, you constantly add temp,
