I do simple computer services for a senior community.
Yesterday, a client's machine had a c: drive sized at 222GB. Only 4.95 GB of available space.
Under Users, the public folder has a size of 173GB. The computer is new, and the client doesn't know how all that space got used.
I'm a newbie at Vista, but know how to navigate XP pretty well.
How can I safely reduce the size of the Public folder?

Don't Think you can limit the size. Folders are dynamic in that they expand as necessary. He must have downloaded something by accident. Find out what it is and maybe delete it.
vista folders are the same as xp. So just use Explorer, look in the folder, sort files by size then check which file(s) are taking up all that space.
