Slow PC's
Guys, there are a few meeting rooms in my company (as in any other). As you would imagine, many people log onto them and after they are finished, they just log off and leave. What they leave behind is their profile. This causes the computers to slow down pretty quickly as more and more people log on. The other day there was a service call and the guy reported seeing a message "You are running low on disk space on the C drive, blah blah". I went over and had a look at the C drive, it was full. Full to 20GB. Took me almost 30 minutes to clear out the damn thing.
AS expected, it took not more than a week for another ticket in the queue for the same problem on the same computer !
My question is, has anyone else experienced the same issue. If yes, what did you come up with to alleviate the problem.
BTW, the computers are all Duo Core, 2.33 Ghz with 1GB of RAM and 80GB HDD. All run XP Pro.
