Msg 46160 is 13 line(s) on 03/18/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to DAVID JOHNSON re: R/DISK CLEANUP Sheesh, I completely forgot about it! One thing I try to do to manage what I have, for chinet, is to have a fully qualified subdirectory that matches chinet. Thus I have a directory: D:\YAM\CHINET\USR\PUBLIC that had the file in it - it was sort of "invisible". I forgot to put it on my "todo" list. My apologies for the effort you put in then I dropped the ball! One thing I DID do to help manage my disk, is to buy a REALLY big tape drive - I can back up everything multiple times to one tape. Heh. I'm thinking of BLOWING AWAY the system, and being more systematic: like Randy Suess recommended - Windows in its own dir, with NO applications under it; etc. That way you can blow away a root dir entry. (though I could just as easily blow away \win3\coreldrw, etc.). I'll try to remember to take a look at PCMANAGE! dup. chars. >Function:?or;-80 46158 03/18/93 DAVID JOHNSON => WARD CHRISTENSEN: "DISK CLEANUP" ---- End of summary ---- Retrieving flagged msgs: C skips, K aborts.
