mj, why are you worried about this :

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

What is the profile size for administrator ??

If you have been using the admin account for generally logging in;
create yourself another user account using the admin account as a template. Then leave the admin account alone, do not use it as an everyday account.
It could save you a lot of hassle.

FT's right, if your using the admin profile and it gets corrupted, you are fooked mate.

do what he says and create another user, and give them admin rights.
you will still have the "Power" baby!!
