we dont give the users full control,  that way they cannot keep us out,
when they want a file restored, we cannot even write to the folder.

Just being the Administrator or some authority on the server can't prevent the users from removing you from access to their private (or any other folders or files where they have the ability to modify permission)folders.  In many companies it is a common practice to allow users Full Control of their files and directories, or this might be granted by the Creator Owner special principal.
 
Regardless of how it's granted, if the administrator permissions are removed, you have no rights to them - unless, of course, you take ownership.

If you have administrator rights shouldn't that give you access to all files?
 
Page file is set to 384MB.  I have deleted internet files and cookies as well.

The properties only calculate what you have rights access.  No access...No file size counted against properties.  You need to find a utility that uses the backup operator bit, something like TreesizePro or other space calculating tool.

Hello, to all, sorry for the off topic question but this I can't find an answer to.

I have a windows 2000 professional machine with a 12G HD with two partitions.

C:\ is 9G
D:\ is 3G

C:\ says that it has 2G left of free space, If I unhide all hidden and system files and right click on them and go to properties, it tells me it is using 5Gs. 

My question here is: Where are the other 2Gs?  I have done defrag on the disk and I don't seem to recover the missing space.  Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Juan
