A friend called me and he said after he installed SP2 that a lot of space
was used up on his Hard drive.
Is that possible? I didn't have any problem with mine.

"a lot of space"?
Ask your friend exactly what he means.

Hi

For folders you can consider deleting and other disk cleanup tips
after a SP2 installation, take a look here:
