    the setup stores the files in "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft Help", about 220 Mbytes of data. But my system partition is not so big (2Gbyte), so I'm looking for a temporary solution, before I have to run "PartitionMagic"

      You can move the files to another drive, and make Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft Help into a reparse point that points to the new location of the files, as long as both are NTFS. There's no built-in way to do this, but see this article[^] for a program that will do it. --Mike-- "I'm working really, really fast at the moment, so a 3 minute outage becomes, due to time dilation, a 5 minute outage." -- Chris Manuder, relativistic system administrator Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber

        thank you, unluckily for me the other partitions have FAT32 filesystems :( so it's time to back up everything and widen the partition X| , I never had thought that 2 Gbyte were not enough for an operating system
