Thanks all for the responses, I much appreciate it. So far, with the two utilities, I was only able to bring it to 12mb free. Not bad......I was also wondering. I installed the carbon theme a couple of times trying to get it to work correctly. I uninstalled it, but, wonder if there were some manilla files that were left in the windows directory from that install. It's hard to know which ones were left over and which ones my black theme is using. I also wonder if anyone remembers how much storage memory was free in the diamond out of the box. There are a number of cab files in the windows directory that cannot be deleted, but, are, on average 2mb. These are cab files for the different apps for the diamond out of the box......Just food for thought. Again, thanks everyone for your help.
