[OT] MS Vista Madness



 I just want to rm -f / MS Vista right now! 

Something seemed to be growing like crazy. 
It was ridiculous, like cancer. 
pagefile.sys was stable at 3.5 GB. 

*** 

I googled "vista disk disappearing" (finally) and I found this page 

http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/592112-disappearing-hard-drive-space.html

..."Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator."... 

vssadmin list shadowstorage 

It's 45+ GB .... 

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=10GB 

Seems to be just fine now. 

*** 

For anybody that must use Vista and if you don't already know, you need 
to be aware of this. 

This started out a question. Now, hopefully just a possibly helpful to 
somebody comment..
