1st solution I can say is
try Revo Uninstaller
i think its free so dowload it by googling from net.
It wil help to uninstall programe along with the left over backup ,registry,temp files,etc.
In short complete delet.
For that
1>start it
2>select the programe to uninstall
3>select option 4 (saying along with regestry)
4>it will uninstall and check all boxes come after that processes
5>keep going next by readng messeges
6>click on finish at end.
thats all the programe is completely deleted.

Now Click on tools tab
under which Junk files Cleaner,browser cleaner,microsoft office cleaner,windows cleaner,evidece remover ,unrecoverable delet etc many options fro you read the help menu and try it

hope it will enable you to kep ready for Space walk...

and ya if you have 11.2GB of C:\ maximum space then it will come around the 2.8GB size.

So you have not to worry abt space

And aur ak bat what evr programe and applications u install or use is also keeped and moitor inu r windows so size might incease further.

other data like system volume restore point,information,,programe files,etc are not coted in above so it may be increase so that

40gb ka 84%

=33.6GB fre space.

+ 3gb (round figure) for XP

+ 2.40gb for Documents and Settings and Programe files

+ 1gb(round figure) my documents

=33.6+3+2.4+1

=40

sahi jawab?

XP used min 5GB hard disk space which is 12.5% of your hard disk plus whenever u install any software apart from OS like for eg. Tally or Winamp etc. it gets stored in C:\Program Files or your recent documents in My Documents and also the softwares in your startup gets stored in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs that usually takes some space of your Primary Drive that is your C:\

So you can try this out next time you download any software change the default path from C:\ to any other drive and for softwares already installed on your PC first unistall them and again install them by changing the destination.

But don't try this if you don't have .exe files of softwares you already have.
