    - Size of Windows folder I am considering a backup scheme which involves partitioning and disk imaging. I would like my C: partition to contain Windows ME and as little else as possible. I would like to be able to burn a compressed image of my C: partition to a single CD-R. The size of my Windows Folder is 1.33 GB. I believe this size is quite a bit larger than it should be. Can someone please help me figure out why it is this large? I got my PC in October 2000. It came with a load of preinstalled applications, mainly Microsoft Works Suite 2000, NAV, and Roxio ECDC. I've added very little (Acrobat Reader, Real Player, and a few other things). Here are sizes of the subfolders which I believe are most susceptible to growth: Application Data 27.7 MB Cookies 10.8 MB Temp 33.8 MB TIF 298 MB (Using the settings in IE6, I have TIF limited to 63 MB. I don't understand why my TIF subfolder is 298 MB). Microsoft Disk Cleanup sees only 74 MB which it can free. My Recycle Bin has 97 MB space reserved (if this is pertinent). My PC: 64 MB RAM; 10 GB HDD. I believe it is possible for the Windows Folder in WinME to be as small as 800 MB. Why is mine 1.33 GB? Tag: Reinstall Tag: 222137

Mine was an ME upgrade from Win 98 SE. Since I now wish to do a clean
install, could the upgrade disk be used for a solely ME install without the
98SE? If yes, will it have the full features of a regular ME retail version?
TIA

Ben,

You can use the upgrade disk to make a clean install.

During the set-up process you will be asked to insert the original =
Windows 98SE disk.

AFAIK the features will be the same.

Good luck,

Zee
