On a new Dell Inspiron laptop with XP Home and several other misc. apps a 20gig HDD has less than 1gig disk space remaining. Is there any known problem with this OS and hidden files, etc.

A memory is when an application is chewing up RAM, not HD.

My 20 GB HD shows a total of 18.6 storage available. With Win XP Professional, Office 2000 Standard and a few smaller apps, I've got 15.2 GB of free space.

James is correct! That is NOT a memory leak!

What applications do you have installed?

Have you attempted to run Disk Cleanup or Disk Defragmentor?

Other than that, I'm not really sure what to suggest.
