[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1647611, member: 24160"] He doesn't have access to his disk for another 6 months. Knowing the amount of used and free space on the drive would be a start for us. However, even if you're sitting at 40-50% free space, after several years, the drive is going to be highly fragmented. If you care nothing about the data in your existing user account, creating a new admin account, logging into it and then deleting the old one, will clear out most of the drive for a quick free fix. It won't be the same as a defragging the drive or a clean installaion, but it should help a lot. [/QUOTE]
