Hello XLT computer smartasses! i am currently trying to get some free space on my computer, so i'm removing some programs.
however, i've come across these things called windows xp hotfix. and theres loads of them in my add or remove programs page.
what are they? what is their purpose? should i delete them?
first person to answer me with a good response that will solve my problem will get a mix cd by me sent to their home to give them an hour of good music/make them smile/clutter their shelf etc.

you could use the disk cleanup tool that comes with windows.. or you could do a search for all files bigger than, say, 10MB, and then sort the results by size, deleting any you know you don't need.
Don't delete the swapfile though. I forget its name but it's likely to be about ~370mb (although this size is user-definable in the control panel)

Are you familiar with production? Because otherwise, I might suggest you get a second harddrive.
If you are worried about one program taking up too much space on your harddrive, I might consider the ammount of size your wav-files might take up.
Seriously, dude. Hard drives are cheap. I bought a 200 gig one for 80 dollars.
