Windows XP User Profile Size

Let's have a thread for this!
- Which is your size?
- How do you think/know it affects system performance?
- What can you do to decrease the size?
I have, quite amazingly, reached some kind of personal record: 877 KB. I suppose the reason is that few of my applications store anything in Documents and Settings.

You had the same reaction when I was on 950 KB.
Care to share your size?

Double LOL.
I guess one answer to this...
Quote from: LeoniAquila on October 08, 2008, 03:05:36 PM
- What can you do to decrease the size?
...would be: minimize the amount of files and folders in your user profile folder. Take Firefox for example. I noticed that it stores many megabytes in the user profile folder. This, along with other things, made me switch to Opera which lets you put the application settings in the installation folder itself. Thus I was able to get rid of quite a lot of space in the Windows user profile folder.
However, I wonder how much difference it actually makes for performance. Logging in should be a little faster but what do I know? Nothing, really.

Size doesn't always matter. Besides, mine's bigger
. MUCH bigger

Rule of thumb: don't save files on your desktop!

I keep trying Opera but for some reason (maybe NoScript) i seem to keep going back to FF.Web pages in Opera seem to take an age to render,it`s fine at first then the last bit seems to take ~20 secs.
Maybe i`m not giving it a good enough try,i`ve got Diskshield up and running now so maybe another dabble wouldn`t do any harm.

I don't trust those screen shots. Especially due to the date stamp. It has to be current

Typical statement of someone who's jealous.
On a serious note: I achieved this by deleting the GIMP settings. Which, of course, isn't sustainable as I had to relaunch GIMP to save the screen shot. So, as much as I actually had a size of 542 KB, now it's back at 878 KB. Still pretty fine I think.
