My thanks to you and Bert for your replies. Unfortunately I have tried all
the methods suggested without result. I run KAV and NOD32 as AVPs and
CWShredder, Spybot S&D, Ad Aware and SpyBlaster so I think I have as much
protection as is available against 'nasties, as there is. I have also run
on line scanners on the machine and as far as I can determine the the
machine is 'clean'. As far as actual free space is concerned the 10GB plus
free is the space free on partition. I take your point re the need to
create restore points for partitions containing data and program files.
I haven't have yet tried XPSystem RestorePointFrequency.vbs but will do so.
This problem, while it seems rare is not unique. I have seen two other
references to the same problem but no solution so far. As I create daily
copies of the Registry using ERUNT the problem for me is an annoyance rather
than 'critical'.
Once more thanks to you and Bert for your kind advice.
