You're just using the VHD to figure out what you can fit on a DVD, and not actually burning the VHD file to disc, right? If so, why not just bump up the size of the VHD by 50MB (the difference between 4.33 and 4.38GB) and hide or ignore the $RECYCLE.BIN folder?

Every once in a while, yeah, I do want to burn the actual container to disc.

I suggest you post this on the "Hardware and Devices" Forum : [^].
Good reading before further posting: the pinned thread on this Forum, "Posting rules for The Lounge."
cheers, Bill

C'mon Bill...I've been on CP since 2001, these sorts of questions get posted all the time here in the lounge. And clearly, this is not a question about any specific piece of hardware or device, but the sort of Windows behavior that people comment about pretty much every day.
If I'm in the wrong here, then this invalidates pretty much everything that's ever been asked here as a question.

Consider that one reason why I suggest you post this on the forum I mentioned is so that the content of the discussion ... which may, indeed, be valuable in the future to others, is not "lost in the spate" of the Lounge's flow of general hoop-la.dandy72 wrote: If I'm in the wrong here, then this invalidates pretty much everything that's ever been asked here as a question.
I can only hope this statement reflects a temporarily missing-in-action sense of social responsibility.

Fair enough.

Asking any question in the lounge is socially irresponsible. Duly noted for future reference.

I'm not sure about this, but maybe disabling the recycle bin for the volume prevents Windows from recreating the recycle bin folder again and again. You can right-click on the Recycle Bin and choose Properties to check it out.
I think you cannot avoid that 50 MB of "wasted space", I guess it must have something to do with the overhead of the file system (things like MFT, reserved blocks, allocation table, etc.), although around 50 MB seems to be pretty much for that.

Have you thought about the fact that file tables and formatting information also takes up space? This is why if you format a 1TB hard drive, you will get less than 900 GB of free space. Now even if you haven't formatted the file yet, I'm confident that the VHD file system must have some way to track the bytes in some sort of table which will require some space.

Thoughts?
Yeah, it's called apodization. Look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls. And it's a property of the container algorithm.

Bs is somewhat special: it is an extremely heavy composite particle made up of a quark and an antiquark combined into what physicists call muons.
Gee, and here I thought it was made up of a three piece suite, an ego, and an office with a window.

You on the 'E's again Marc? 
Because you have one too many in there: Three piece suite[^] vs Three pieve siut[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I like your interpretation better. Finally, those experiments are paying off and leading us back into the workings of the mind. Also, it made me laugh out loud!

I've been scanning Google search results for months now using only googles .Com, .BE and Co.UK but for the life of me I cannot seem to get more than about 850k unique domain names.
At first I used about one thousand hand coded search terms and read the first ten pages returned from google that included about a hundred results per page and soon got to about half a million domains but then it slowed down to a stop as it reached 700k.
Six months later I ran a scan to see how many of the 700k sites had gone 404 and also had the DNS entry removed and found that the number of sites up and running were dropping like flies (top of head, about 20% gone)
Now I have a whopping twenty seven thousand search terms pulled from meta data and have been throwing these (Very slowly) at Google and have reached about 850k domains in the database and it has all but come to a stop again and the 850k includes about 20% that went dead pulled six month previously.
I read once that the internet contains about a billion websites not that I believed these numbers and many of the domains I have collected point to foreign sites in places like China or Korea so it is a bit of a mixed bag of results and I also understand that many domain have been parked (lots are linked back to fake sites sharing the same IP and running add-words, google does not mind) but this 850k numbers I am seeing does not look anywhere near the 5-20 million that I was originally expecting.

So sites in other countries are not foreign?

Most from Google.com or Co.UK would be english sites and english is quite common for website located in countries where english is not the offical langwage.
A finger in the air guess by me would say 1/3 of the internet uses english or has the option of being viewed in english and would be indexed by google and be returned when searching via Google.com or UK
Pushing the boat out I still don't think I could get above 4 million sites from Google even if I scanned everyone of it's country based servers.
I can tell you for a fact that some domain parks run about 20,000 sites each and they host sites that relay google add-word adverts but i would not know just how many google filters out from its results.
If these fake park sites didn't get any hits then they would not do it.

The fake ones I am talking about work a bit like this but just work of the parked domain name

Would some of the 'fake' ones be cyber-squatted ones too?
(Perhaps the Bangalore walk-in site you mention is one such).

I think we get a bit of a mix but in general Google does manage to filter most out.
Big domain parks pointing lots of domains to the same IP would show up but I don't see anything that stands out.
