Arrgh.
I've been mostly unable to do anything on this system for almost two days.
At 3 am Wed morning, the weekly Norton AV scan started. This is a major performance hit at the best of times.
It continued all thru Wed along with warnings from XP about low disk space.
Finally this evening I had to abort because the drive was full.
After doing much digging, I discovered 9.3 *gigabytes* of temp files in an obscure directory (C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp). The dates of a lot of them matched up with the time NAV runs.
I'm not sure if Norton or WinXP is to blame. I suspect XP may be at least partially to blame because I discovered a while back that the "recent documents" list went all the way back to when I first got the system.
So, is there a setting that tells XP to get rid of old temp files and the like?
