I have done desk clean up and it only managed to recover about a 100
mb of file space. Now I am planning to transfer some of these other
program file to the D drive, would the MSO cache be transfered to the
D drive,?
As much as I can remove what I think are unused softwares and other
unnecessary files, any comments about th importance of MSO cache
files?
TIA
