Telescope Reviews: Re: Share Vista Tweaks and Tips

Another tip is to change the shadow storagem this a bit more complicated but you can gain another chunk of Gigs with this one. Go to the search bar an put "cmd" it will appear an icon on the search, right click on it and choose the option "run as administrator"...

There put the instruction "vssadmin list shadowstorage" and press enter..this will show you how much space is taking the shadow storage of Vista (for recovery purpose)..sometimes it can up to 25% of your Hard drive (imagine you have a 500 gig hard drive or 1 terabyte,,thats alot of Gigs)..

If you want to gain some gigs (make less big the shadow storage) you should do this,
add this instructions

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=C: /On=C: /MaxSize=6GB

Of course the Letter C is for your hard drive (of course your hard drive may have another letter)..and the Maxsize is how much you want to use for shadow storage...like an example mine had 10 Gigs of shadow storage, and i wanted to use only 5gig..i just change with that instruction putting Maxsize=5GB...

And that's it..you can put any number there but you should have at least maybe 8% to 10% for the shadow storage.
