Just found this thread about - Slimming Down Windows XP - Eliminating Unnecessary Files.
An extremly extensive list of items which can be deleted. from basic waste of space items to .dlls.

Thanks, will try it out later.

Be careful when doing these things though. If there is no explanation of what certain files are you're deleting then don't delete them!
My friend followed one of these a few months ago and ended up deleting something he shouldn't have then he couldn't add any new hardware.
It was quite annoying trying to fix it, and eventually we gave up then he had to reinstall windows (which was a pain because of all the video editing crap he has on his computer and he wont partition :angry: )
