[FRIAM] No fool like an old fool.

The latter has to do with system updates (Component Based Servicing), see URL below.   It might be there is some anomaly in how your machine is taking bug-fixes from Microsoft, e.g. a patch got misapplied somehow and created a cascade of problems.  The former is probably just caching from your web browser and that sort of thing.

Hi, Anybody,

You remember that I complained that my 380gb hd kept filling up.  Today I downloaded winderstat and found that 200 gb of disk space is tied up in the windows Temp directory.  Any idea how I have been doing that?  Another 60 gb are tied up in a directory named CBS consisting entirely of .log files beginning with CbsPersist.  WTF?

What does everybody else on this list know about running a windows computer that I don’t know?

Nick
