How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista - Vista Forums
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...en-forums.html
Note: the Snipping tool is the same in Vista and Windows7
Have you moved your User files to the storage HD? You'll get better performance, safer storage as well as recover space to your HD: User Folders - Change Default Location
I just did whole thing... hope I didn't need to open up all folders and all that.
My guess is that you have a load of system restore points on your drive, you might want to check that and consider deleting them.

To save space on mine, i always disable the hibernate file. (about 8gigs approx) od space can be saved if you dont use this feature.
You can also reduce the PF size if you have plenty of RAM, or move it to another drive. Around 2GB perhaps left on the SSD would be fine, but do not disable it.
As suggested, reduce the amount of space 7 can use for restore points.
This should free up around 10GB of space. (depending how much RAM you have it may be a bit more)
However, if I were you, I would just put Steam at the very front of a spining Drive where it will perform best (or a secondary SSD) as well as all music, video, and picture folders.
just let the SSD handle the OS and all other Programs.
While it is true a game will load a bit faster on the SSD, the simple fact is once the game is loaded it really doesnt make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.
Once the game loads, its running from memory which is faster than the SSD anyway. The exception would be a few games that load the game world on the fly. Even then, not that drastic of a difference.
However, the choice is yours. So a couple tips to save some space if you choose to leave it where it is.
