Any ideas on how to figure out what is making the windows directory on a xp
pro workstation "swell" up to 30 gigs???

Some possibilities:

1. The Recycle Bin
2. Temporary Internet Files
3. The Temp folder
4. Restore points

Try the Disk Cleanup Wizard.

Try these two utilities to determine where your disk space is going.
Windirstat is free, Spaceman99 is trialware.
