Freeing Disk Space

By:

If you don't need animated help with scrolling, minimizing windows, etc., you can free up just over 7MB of hard drive space by deleting the .AVI files from the \Windows \ Help directory.

You can safely delete *.gid AND *.fts files from your hard drive. These files are created when a help file is opened (*.gid) and a search is made within it (*.fts). Just do a search (press F3 in Explorer) of your hard drive. You can easily free a couple of MB's!
