Hi,

My laptop's winsxs folder bloated to 7.75GB of a 60GB disk. This
appears to be rather large especially for a modest laptop with few
applications. This happened rather suddenly. It adds substantially
to
backups as well. (By contrast, winsxs on my XP desktop is a few
hundred MB). Is there any help for this?

I am running Vista Premium SP1 on an HP572 laptop.

Thanks,
Gary
