1. Download Resource Hacker.\n\n2. Locate explorer.exe in your C:/Windows directory. Copy this file somewhere and give it the name explorer.bak.\n\n3. Launch resource hacker and use resource hackers menus to open up explorer.exe. Once opened you will see a lot of collapsed folders.\n\n4. Expand the String Table folder and then find folder No. 37 (folder No. 38 if you're in Windows Classic mode).\n\n5. Click on resource 1033 and locate the text that says 'start.' This is your Start button, Change the 'start' text to your text of choice. You don't have a character limit, but the text takes up valuable taskbar space, so don't make it too long.\n\n6. Click on the button labeled Compile Script. This updates the settings for your Start button. But nothing will happen until you complete through step #20, so keep going!\nIf you just want to change the text and nothing else like hover text, image, etc. jump to step 16.\n\nChange your hover text\n\n7. While you're here, why not also change the text that pops up when your mouse hovers over your Start button?\n\n8. Right now it says 'Click here to begin.' Well, duh! We already know that's where to begin!\n\n9. Open folder No. 34 and click on resource 1033.\n\n10. Find the text that says 'Click here to begin' and change it to something cooler.\n\n11. Click on the Compile Script button to update this resource.\n\nCustomize your Start icon\n\n12. For an added bonus, you can also change the Windows icon to the left of the text, too.\n\n13. Collapse the String Table folder and expand the Bitmap folder at the top of your folder list.\n\n14. Click on folder No. 143 and click on resource 1033. You should see that familiar Windows icon.\n\n15. Go to the Action Menu and select 'Replace bitmap.' Select 'Open file with new bitmap', and locate the replacement image on your machine. Note: The image must have a .bmp extension and a size of 25 pixels by 20 pixels. Then click the Replace button.\n\nMake your new Start button active\n\n16. Now that you've made your changes, save the file in your Windows folder with another name, such as explorer1.exe. Don't name it Explorer.exe, because that file is already being used by your system.\n\n17. Now that we have created a new Explorer1.exe file we need to get Windows to use it. That’s where the Registry editor comes in. Click on your "start" button and then click "RUN". Now type "regedit" and click the "OK" button to open the registry editor.\n\n18. In the registry editor go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92; SOFTWARE&#92; Microsoft&#92; Windows NT&#92; CurrentVersion&#92; Winlogon". Once there double click on the string value "Shell". Once inside the text box will have "explorer.exe" in it, delete that and type in "explorer1.exe", (what we saved the new explorer file as) then click the "OK" button.\n\n19. Make sure explorer1.exe is in the "C:&#92;Windows&#92;" directory otherwise you will have to type the whole path ito the text box.\n\n20. Now reboot your computer and enjoy your new start button!

If it's a sub-directory off of one of your partitions, then you can just use Windows Explorer and right-click the folder, select "properties".  It will show the number of files and folders in that folder.\n\nIf you want to see how many are on a partition from the root, then open a command prompt (Start-Run-cmd), and type following commands , this is for the C: drive .. edit as necessary,\n\nC:\nCD&#92;\ndir /s /a\n\nThat will list all of the files and folders, including hidden and system files, and at the end will give you a grand total, like this,\n\n     Total Files Listed:\n           39628 File(s) 52,617,415,599 bytes\n            8850 Dir(s)  25,254,928,384 bytes free

Follow these steps\n\nClick on start\nGo to search\nGo to all files or folders\nThen go to advanced\nGo to search by size\nClick on at least 9999 kb.\nIt will display all files greater than 10 mb on ur disk\nSort the result according to size\nThen leaving the system files delete all other files\n\nStill if u don’t get free space\nRun any chkdsk or hard disk scan utility.

The autoexec.bat file is normally located at C:&#92; \n\nIt is a windows system file, so make sure you can view all files (In windows explorer select Tools, Folder Options, View and tick show all files and untick the Hide operating system files)\n\nFinally in WindowsXP the file exists, but is 0Kb (empty), and that is how it should be!! Start Up is now controlled via MSCONFIG (the registry entries,  Local Machine, Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version, Run)

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for but it is a tiny program called Treesize that shows you a graphic representation of which directories and folders are using the most space, http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml if you are looking for a drive cleaner/registry cleaner I will point you towards, CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ at least some of this should be useful.

You can go to"My Computer". After that go to "Local Disk:C" And after that, there will be like a circle graph. The purple indicates free space and the blue indicates used space.

This is possible.  I'll show you how to do a directory listing of all zero byte files first, since that will be safe to run as a test and to see how it works. \n\ndir /a-d  /s | find "                 0 "\n\nHere's the rundown of the switches,\n\ndir,  (duh)\n/a-d, shows only files (attribute NOT directory)\n/s, go through subdirectories\n\n|, this is the pipe command located on the backslash key and is very important here.  It takes the output of the command to the left of it and pipes it into the command to the right of it.\n\nfind, we're going to take the output of the dir command and try to find something in the listing, mainly the number 0\n\n"                 0 ", the stuff in the quotes is the text that we're looking for.  In this case, it's a carefully formatted bunch of spaces and a 0 that will only match up to files with a zero byte size.  [Important NOTE at the bottom about this commandline option]\n\nTypically a directory listing will look like,\n\n08/04/2004  06:00 AM                80 explorer.scf\n08/11/2004  06:12 PM                37 vbaddin.ini\n08/04/2004  06:00 AM                 2 desktop.ini\n11/26/2005  11:52 AM                 2 msoffice.ini\n10/27/2005  11:37 PM                 0 setuperr.log\n\nI'm looking _specifically_ for the string of characters between the filedate and the filename.  If I just tried to look for a zero, and deleted what I found, then I could end up deleting a bunch of important files.  \n\nSo, I'm looking for exactly "                 0 " which will only be matched by files with a zero byte size.\n\nTry the dir command out without piping it through find, and make sure that your OS displays file sizes with the same format (I'm using W2K).\n\nThen try the dir command with the pipe through the 'find' command and you should see that it lists all the files of zero bytes from where you ran it and any subdirs underneath.\n\nThen, after you're comfortable with what it's going to do, you can replace the 'dir /a-d /s' with a 'del /s /q'\n\nYou might want to try running it in a test directory first with some test files of various sizes including zero byte files.\n\n[IMPORTANT NOTE: when I previewed this post I noticed that Yahoo strips out some of the spaces in the 'find' command line.  There should be 17 spaces before the 0 and one after it.  You can always recreate the correct commandline spacing from your own dir command output.]

If free disk space is not the problem, you can allocate more virtual memory by...\n\nOn XP - Right Click My Computer, pick Properties, pick Advanced, pick Performance (Settings), pick Advanced, pick Virtual Memory (Change). and then you can add addition page file space. (you will need to be logged on as an administrator to do this)
