I've been mucking around with my W2000 setup (converting FAT32 to NTFS) and somehow during the changes my User environment has grown huge! To the tune of 1,470Kb!!! Of course, Windows squeaks when loading so loads up a default profile/environment.

How can I get this environment down to a manageble size? Any ideas on why it would get to be so big.....

Hmm - How does the security settings affect the profile? I am wondering now whether the security settings I've put on my HDD are what has affected this environment...

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

What do you mean by user environment?
Do you mean the space used in C:\Documents and Settings\user_name ?

Yes, exactly... The profile contained in netuser.dat. The error message that shows up is along the lines of:

User environment too large. Loading Default environment.

NTUSER.DAT file? Mine 4MB in filesize, and my WindowsXP hasn't warned me about it yet.

Anyone can help?

An access to NTFS partition on your HDD is supported only by Windows NT.
Conversion between FAT32 and NTFS and back is possible through MS DOS prompt window and Program Files, Accessories, System Tools, Drive Converter (FAT32).

When mucked around with your W2000 setup you are (possible) loosing a large amount of disk space to the overhead associated with NTFS.
