rhecb Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The culprit is System RestoreGo toControl Panel\System and Maintenance\SystemIn the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. –Turn off System Protection for a hard disk, clear the check box next to the disk, and then click OK.This deletes all Restore points and removes the hidden System Volume Information folderIf you want to keep System Restore try this alternative:Delete files using Disk CleanupRight click C: in Computer select Properties Select Clean UpSelect More Options tab In System Restore and Shadow Copies box click Clean Up t his deletes all but the most recent restore point on the disk.System Restore uses restore points to return your system files to an earlier point in time. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by deleting the earlier restore points. HTH rhecb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmhome1 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Freeware VisDir works in Vista and ignores all access denied issues, bar-graphing every file, whether system, hidden or super-hidden down to MB resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
