Thanks Thane.. looking forward to seeing what you think. Yes I have a bunch
of music and photo files that I need to archive on disc or my external
drive. But sometimes things just take too darn long to work in XP. Desktop
icons take a few seconds to load, clicking on Firefox takes about 10 seconds
to open the program, the whole thing feels sluggish. My OS needs to go on a
diet. Used to be that when I clicked on a program to open it, it would pop
up right away. Now it needs to think for between 5 and 10 seconds.

I've skimmed his idea. I don't like the idea of actually removing the
files for the services you don't need. The space saved can't be as
significant as the space used by old music, pictures and video that most
people have on their computer. I could be wrong, and I'll run it on
Monday on a virtual machine to give more precise results.
