this is kinda a response to someone who asked why he lost 2GB on his HD for no apparent reason, well it is because vista has space allocated on the HD for shadow storage (15% is usually its max) here is how you can reduce the max size of it, but remember that by doing this, you will wipe out all shadows.
 go to command prompt, right click, and select run as admin. then type in "vssadmin list shadowstorage" - this will tell you how much space has been allocated for shadow storage
to change it type in vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=C: /On=C: /Maxsize=you desired max size
you can replace "C" with whatever drive you want.
just thought i post this for those of you who didn't know about it. i saved 35GB on my HD by resizing
