A primary space waster within each user profile would be IE's penchant for
storing copies (or significant portions thereof) of nearly every web page
your friend has ever visited. Try reducing the amount of temporary
Internet files cached, which is huge by default. I always reduce it to a
maximum of 50 Mb. In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options >
General, Temporary Files > Settings.

Same principle for the Java cache. Start > Control Panel > Java >
Temporary Internet Files > Settings.

Jeeze! How long has this been going on? The damn thing was set for 1,000 mb!
Thanks for pointing this out.

How much of a performance hit would I take if I told it not to store Java
files temporarily at all, I wonder?
