Windows XP User Profile Size

What can you possibly desire more than a small user profile? >:-D

WindowBlinds :-*

Don’t forget about balance (:a*).

Oh yeah, so you can disable the Themes service and beat me in the number of running services. Oh wait, I almost forgot, I still beat you in the number of running services. ;D

Anyhow, if we’re interested, we do have things to learn in the topic of user profile size. E.g. why it changes like a sine curve. ???

LA

Because this is Microsoft we’re dealing with. How often do they make sense?

one quick question. (:NRD)
where do i look for that user proile size :-TU

Control Panel → System → Advanced tab → User Profiles / Settings. Or press Win key + Pause/Break, it’ll take you directly to the System Properties. (:WIN)

If you laugh, I’ll track you down and bring my Karate Master and kick your Comodo BUM! Then I’ll go home and go on the computer and ban every single person here, then Melih will wake up realizing everyone has been banned and he…

Okay I’ll just give you the picture. 88) ;D

(:LGH) Ban us all…

Just out of curiosity, do you have a lot of files in My Documents? I would be very suprised if your user profile size was that large, only as a result of your programs’ settings.

I know you do have quite a lot of Adobe stuff in Documents and Settings. (:WIN)

And people wonder why their boot times are slow (:LGH)

Guys, just for your information, files and folders in Local Settings doesn’t count towards the profile size.

What do you mean ???

LA

I mean what I said. The size of the folder Local Settings doesn’t count towards the size of your profile. Maybe this picture will explain it better.

As you can see, I’ve marked everything except for the folder Local Settings.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying.

I think my profile for System is the smallest… Unless someone can get their profile to use a negative storage space. :stuck_out_tongue:

Does it count? ;D

I like your language, Rasmus.

Hey how can I get my profile size smaller??

Josh

Stop using Adobe ;D

I’m not using it… Using Foxit.

Ok then no more OpenOffice of any program with the word Office in it ;D. Try to get portable versions of your programs. Never save anything on the desktop aside from temporary purposes or shortcuts. Don’t save anything in your Documents folder. Sometimes re-creating the C:\Documents and Settings<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db could help (delete it and reboot).
