OS: XP Home +SP2
Machine: SONY VAIO laptop PCG-F340
FileSystem of C: NTFS (converted from FAT)

When I hover the mouse cursor over the C:\WINDOWS\Temp
folder, XP says the size of the folder is 332MB.

When I view the contents of the C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder,
(with "Show hidden files" on), the contents add up to <
2MB.

Is there any reason to be concerned?
