    Question How big is your 'My Documents' folder?

    As the title asks, how big is your 'My Documents' folder? Mine is 12.2GB in size and contains 815 folders containing 14,870 files. If you don't know how to find this out, right click on 'My Documents' and select properties and go to the tab named 'general'. If you have lots of stuff, leave it for about 20 seconds to show the final total.

    Wierd... I would have thought that using software to talk specifically about software used for holding software would have created a quantum singularity in cyberspace and caused the internet to imlpode in upon itself and suck every computer hooked up to it clean in the process... or at least create a rip in space-time.

    Not very big. I don't keep things in the Windows "standard" directories. Mainly because I don't keep anything on my C: drive but the OS (and yes, I know you can change where "My Docs" points to, but habits die hard). I got used to my own system for storing downloads and personally generated data a while back, made it easier for backup purposes, and I haven't changed. Too old for that now, and it's probably a little more secure to be unstandard. So all that is in my "My Docs" folder are saves from newer video games.

    No, no, no. No. Your thinking of the day when the internet is used for something useful.

    You guys with 5 GB and more: It must take all afternoon for you to defrag? Do you therefore just not do it ever?

    I defrag, just not a lot.

    And if I do it I usually let it run at night.

    It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    To be honest I hardly store anything in "My Documents". I store all my stuff apart from games on my other hard drive.
