That has been asked far too many times on these forums. And there has been almost as many different answers.
Here is one to look at but I have no idea how good/bad/indifferent they are http://www.discountasp.net/[^]

I was trying to debug a disk space issue in my colleague's system. We narrowed down to a weird issue as outlined below:
1) When you right click Windows folder from Explorer Tree and choose properties, it shows 12 GB.
2) When you select ALL the files from the right pane of C:/Windows/ and choose properties, it shows 2.5 GB. (I have ensured that hidden and system files are also shown). The right click also includes a recursive traversal/calculation right, since it takes a while to calculate the figures.
Any clues on where does a huge difference of 10 Gigs creep in from?

You have the 'Hide Protected Operating System Files' option checked. This hides anything with System and Hidden flags set. One of the items with these flags is the C:\Windows\Installer folder, which caches MSI files that you've installed (with any embedded files stripped out). Also, all Windows Installer patches are cached, and here the embedded file cabinet is retained.
Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is a 455MB patch. That's where a lot of the space has gone.
In addition, Windows Installer 3.x supports uninstallable patches. What do you think it does with all the files that are needed to reinstall the old version? That's right, it caches them under a hidden system folder under C:\Windows\Installer named $PatchCache$. Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is an uninstallable patch, so there's 1.2GB (on my system) of backed-up files in a folder named 0E8BA73496BF22242B086AF4D32E5219, which is the 'compressed' version of the product GUID.
I'm not sure, but I think you can delete these cached folders. If you ever decide to uninstall VS2005 SP1, and go back to the original release, I think you would then need to provide the original install media.
You might try using one of Jam Software's TreeSize[^] programs. There's a professional edition, a personal edition[^] for home use, and a free edition[^] which tells you the folders, but not the files, which are taking all the space.

Thank you, Mike.
Let me try these tools tomorrow and see if I can get around the Windows problem.

This may not work at all , but worth trying ...
Download BartPE and create a bootable CD. Boot your Laptop with this CD and try running RegEdit . If this key exists
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\avserve = avserve.exe
Delete the avserve = avserve.exe this should stop the virus from auto-running from boot.
Boot into safe mode. Run the Symantec tool. Boot into normal mode, run that tool again. Look into the Windows directory if avserve.exe is still there permanently delete it. Then obtain the MS patch [^] and hope the problem is resolved. If not, you might need to re-format and re-install windows.

You need to ask help at the bleeping computer forums[^]. They'll be able to help you get the virus removed.

I am wanting to build a new desktop and possibly purchase a new laptop. However, I have not been able to determine if one edition of Vista is better for development than the other like with Windows Home and XP. Is there a specific edition that is recommended for .NET development?
Thanks

I would go with Windows Vista Business. You don't need Media Center (rules out Ultimate and Home Premium), you might need Remote Desktop and domain support (rules out both Home editions), you'd like Aero Glass (rules out Home Basic) and you probably do need full IIS support (rules out Home editions).
The only reason I can think of that you might need Ultimate is if you needed to test with Multi-Lingual User Interface (MUI) packs installed. These are only available for Ultimate or Enterprise. Enterprise is only available through Volume Licensing.
Oh, and ignore the K and N versions unless for some reason you'd like to pay the same amount for a version of Windows without Media Player or without Messenger or both (KN version). They're only so MS can pay lip service to the anti-trust rulings in Europe (N version) and Korea (K version).

How can I take out the list of installed application in a computer(WIN XP)?
and I don't want to view or get the details of the drivers installed in the machine.

The list of installed apps which is shown when you use the Add/Remove Programs control panel is stored in the below registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Each subkey in there is an item in the list and has a DisplayName value which is what you see in the Add/Remove control panel.

You can get all of this through the WMI providers, but this type of information is only going to be available for applications that installed using a setup application (and specifically an MSI based one).

if you just look in the registry key I referred to, you'll get anything which has an uninstall entry in the add/remove programs. doesn't matter whether it uses an msi or not. installers all tend to add to that location for easy uninstall.
granted, an xcopy install won't get detected by this.

There's nothing to program. This is done entire through Group Policy in Windows. Frankly, this is a bad idea to block because some applications and installers have dependancies on using a Command Prompt.

You can still block it from the user in Group Policy, and it will be fine. As long as you allow the system to use it. There are ways of blocking it from normal execution, this allows programs that don't use forms of authentication to still use it.

I know. I also said some applications have dependancy on it. We found out the hard way one day a few years ago. A couple of apps, ever so silently, used a hidden CMD window to do some stuff. Setting this policy for the user broke both apps, giving wierd and misleading error messages. If you looked at TaskManager while the apps were running, every once in a while you'd see CMD.EXE pop up in the list, but no visible window would ever show. Clearing that policy fixed the apps, and I wanted to go beat the people who wrote them.
