- Hello All,
-
- I have recently upgraded to Win 3.1 on my 386. It has a 120 meg HD,
- and 4 M RAM.
- It seems that Win is creating a huge (12 meg) file in my root
- directory with a Hidden attribute. This is on top of the amount of space
- Windows is taking up in its own subdirectories! I have deleted this file a
- couple of times, but Windows keeps re-creating it (however, not every time I
- use the software).
- My question is: Am I alone in this??? or is this normal.
- If this IS normal, then it seems a bit presumptuous of Windows to
- hog such a huge amount of space!!
