Thank you walter .. I didnt want to set the size amount too low and have
windows crash on me and yes I am on broadband. I set all the users on my
system to 50 mb at first but an "invalid location " message kept popping up
every once in a while so I changed it to 100 mb for each user and havent had
that message pop up since. I figure having 100 mb is better then 900+ mb per
user and doing this freed up almost 5 gb on my HD
