I have a number of files in my system32 directory that are causing my system to bog down with too many of these files. Is there a way for me to remove these? The files are sequnetially numbered and begin with Reg022 and so on. I am running IIS4 on this box and have several domains on it as well. If I cannot get rid of them how do I put them to a different drive. The drive they are on is only to be used for system files with all other programs running on different drives. The drive is 2 gig in size which was the recommended size partition per Microsoft. Currently these files amount to almost 1.4 gig of space on the drive. With just the system on I am running out of space fast. Help is appreciated to rectify this problem.

I haven't seen these files left on any of my servers I would try to find out why they are there to begin with!! In the short term though as long as you have a full backup - go ahead and delete them - you can always pull em back if needed - but I doubt it. Check the date and access times -is someone or some scheduled program not editing the regisrty properly. Might you have os support with your maitenance contact? If so call it in get some help. This is not normal. Good luck.
