I have a Toshiba Sattellite laptop running Vista and it's looking like every time I turn on my comp I am losing a GB or more a day. I have no idea why, or how to make it stop. I don't have a lot of crap installed on the comp and I mainly use it for school work so I don't know what could be eating GB's of space a day.

Please help.

Thanks.
