> mainly application defaults, like the offline cache (.ost) for Outlook
> 2003 etc, stuff that is program readable only in most cases and not
> worth worrying about. My Docs & Settings is 635 MB in size of which
> 555 MB is Outlook cache and Offline Address Book. If you keep a lot of
> stuff on your desktop that will also be there, can't be moved, so the
> best bet is to properly set up things so that the majority of your

> them to another location, open Outlook and point it to the new
> locations, make sure your IE/Netscape/Firefox etc caches are located
> elsewhere, make sure that you use C:\Temp as your temp folder instead
> of the default. Set up shortcuts on your desktop to the new location
> and put any stuff you keep on the desktop in there etc. What remains
> in Docs & Settings isn't worth trying to get to from Linux if you do
> all that, you won't be able to use it anyway.
