hello everyone.
i fineley bought my new DAW and i'm running it under winXP and i have notice that xp
have a hiding files on every patition that xp wright an information into this filel, and the amount of the information that xp wrote into this file is almost a 20% of the actual size of the data that is in this drive.

i'v noticed it the first time when i open nero burning program to burn some data from drive d and i noticed a big file in this partition that i couldn't see it when i regulary explor in this drive.
1.am i right ?
3.can this constantly writing data effect audio performane?
2.can i disable this data writing in xp ?

cheers
Omb

You have to disable the 'System Restore' function, search in control panel->System
