   THE GRYLION to All   
   confused about drive size/ capacity

   Hi All,   
    I have just migrated from win 2000 pro to xp home ( I know its a bit late   
   but my son has just got a game that only works on xp )   
   I have done a clean install and have created six profiles for the family.   
   My C hdd now says that the capacity used is 24+g of a 40 g drive with not   
   all my software installed.   
   In win 2000 it was only about 11g ( one for all profile) with full installed   
   programmes.   
   Checking the contents of the C drive.(edit/select all/properties) says I   
   only have used 9.4 g.   
   Right clicking in an empty space in my C drive and properties says I have   
   used 24+ g.   
   Is it because of the profiles I have created or what?   
   Any ideas please?   
      
   regards Peter
