Yes, your windows folder is uncommonly large.

Mine (winxp) is only 1.27 GB.

As for the rest of your post, it is complete gibberish.

mines is only 16.1 mb

Mine is about a 1gb after all the current updates and service pack. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro btw. I would go back to WinXP Pro, but 3D Studio Max runs buggy and constantly freezes.:(

mine is 1.81gb - winxp pro - maybe you should access properties for each of the folders to see where all that stuff is - or i think norton has a proggy that tells directory size (like which directories on disk are the biggest, etc.)

How can your windows folder only be 16.1 mb unless your running windows 3.1? Mine is 1.26 Gb

I think you should format.

Which OS are you using? Because that seems quite small for Windows XP.
