Everytime I boot my XPe system, the free disk space has shrunk by about 70MB.
If I turn off the System Restore feature, I get all my space back again.
But if I turn it on again, the shrinking behavior returns.
System Restore is supposed to take no more than 12% of drive space.
But this behavior has taken as much as 62% of the drive space (18GB of 29GB).
I've checked the registry settings for SystemRestore/DSMax and DiskPercent.
Any ideas?

Use something like SequoiaView to see what folder actually grows fast. Then we can get some ideas. Without exact folder it's impossible to say who and why eats space.
