I do wish admin would make up something we could go by.
I thank all who help. Tweaks while gaining you speed, is a good thing. Gaining space and using less of it for stuff you don't need does seem like a good thing. I know after removing all the sample stuff and many other things that come with my pcs I gain usuable space for my music, kma and mp3.
So if I am sitting at a point where I'm using 50% of my hardrive giving me 80gb free and get rid of 40gb more of useless luggage I would think that would be helpful.
More so with a person running a 80gb laptop with the same excess baggage.
This is what I'm asking help with. I thank you and Marklewood for recent help and past. Again thank you. Ed

Swany, Mark and Billyo have given you ideas for increasing your processor speed but none of what they have said will increase your drive space.
You say you don't use Paint and you don't use Word, so uninstall them. Any program listed in your Start menu under programs should be uninstallable if you are not using them. Saving 40GB of space though isn't going to happen with program removal. Most programs (not all) will take up less than 10 - 15MB so you might gain in total maybe 0.5GB. When you are deleting just remember Hoster needs Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer and don't delete them.
You want to gain space clear out your Temporary Internet files, History files, cookies and all Temp directories.
