JABuck, Thanks for the reply. I made a boot disk and started from it. I did the "deltree
C:\_RESTORE" and it ran for hours. I finally stopped it and rebooted normally. I
looked at the _RESTORE/TEMP file again and it was down a little(from 34,000+ to 27,000+).
Does this sound normal? At this rate it would take days to clear everytning. Also,
what did you mean when you said "IF you have an antivirus be sure to remove restore
from the exclusions list before you delete it"? I have a corporate version of Norton
Antivirus, I looked and didn't see any "exclusions" parameters anywhere. Thanks again.
Mike
