Interesting. Program has a couple pet peeves of mine (doesn't have the 
ability to cut and paste and cannot make display bigger) but I think it 
has helped me identify a couple issues.

My Firefox 
profile is taking up a full gig of drive space. Is that normal? Sure, I 
have a lot of bookmarks but they are bookmarks! Why should a profile 
take up that much space? (And if it shouldn't, what would the cure be?)
I have 4G in temp files. Can I blow the folder away or is there something with which I need to concern myself.I have 2G in a restore file. Overkill?Intuit programs sure grab a whole bunch of real estate. Not looking to get rid of the files. Just an observation.I will be following up on some of the other suggestions, but for now, if I get the OK, blowing
 away the temp folder would sure buy some time.

There's a brilliant little stand-alone program (it doesn't need to be installed, and you can run it off a USB stick---it's tiny). It will show you exactly where everything is on your computer in a pie-chart, from which it will be obvious what's taking up space. Just hover your mouse over each segment for details.
