Default Bloat, Hidden Files consuming Disk Space

Dear Jane:

[ Please excuse the previous response; a finger slip occurred. ]

Thank you for your response.

CSC Client-Side-Caching: Do you have Offline files enabled? Is the Our
Data drive mapped to your pc? Folder redirection and/or roaming
profiles?


No to Offile files and Folder redirection. Possibly yes to the Our Data.

On 3-20-Main is a D:rive shared as Our Data. There is a folder on that drive
called My Documents. All of our personal files are in that folder. I have
been using this technique starting with Windows 95. With Windows XP and
Vista I have changed the properties of the My Documents meta pointer to
point to that file.

I have another Production Vista system, and the Documents meta pointer
properly points to the networked data store (as stated in the above
paragraph). On that system there is no Windows\CSC Folder. I just checked
and the properties of the C: drive says 33 GB is being used, yet Windows
Explorer can only count for 23 GB. I have not started to determine the
reason for this discrepancy

Thanks again for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Jeff V. Pulver

Well, but you do have a CSC folder in your computer...

To see if offline cache is disabled, go to control panel, disable classic
view if you have it, click network and internet, then Offline Files link.
You can enable/disable CSC there and also check how much disk space it is
currently consuming.
My computer has a 20 GB limit for CSC, for instance. CSC cache is enabled by
default, so if you don't recall to have disabled it, it's probably on...

Client Side Caching (aka Offline Files) is a feature that allows you to
access files on a SMB server (Server Message Block, a protocol to share
files) even if you are not connected.
