This way when you make an image backup of your OS it is going to be very fast and give you a very little size image. on another partition (as a logical one located on an extended partition), you may install your games on this partition too or have a dedicated logical partition for this (yes I know sometimes you are forced to install a game on C:\ drive, but this are only some exceptions). I found the best way is have more than one partition, installing only the OS and some programs on first primary partition as Office, Antivirus (Avast Free), a Browser (FireFox), 7Zip, etc., turn off Restore, and relocate anything else as My Documents, Downloads, Music, Videos etc. If I had it stored in my profile's My Music folder, I guess my profile size would be almost a TB in size. I have my lossless music collection on a separate HDD. but that just means that that stuff is now located somewhere else. It just means you have a bunch of stuff in your profile folder Great, that's what I thought it was for! If I move that stuff outside of my profile folder, whether it's 100 MB or several GB, the profile size drastically shrinks. unless someone can offer insight to the contrary, I'd say that the "user profile" size is pretty pointless. ![]() I then took everything from the temporary folder and put it back in My Documents, and my profile size was right back up at 3.78 GB. I also used a shellbag cleaner, and NT Registry Optimizer, and afterwards NTUSER.dat shrank by exactly half, to 1,536 KB. As a result, my user profile size shrank to 194 MB. ![]() I took everything in it and moved it to a temporary folder outside of my user name folder, but still on the same partition. ![]() NTUSER.dat was 3,072 KB.Īs mentioned above, My Documents was over 7.5 GB. I did a little HDD reorganizing, and it grew to 3.78 GB. As stated, my user profile was 3.58 GB in size.
