57. Your Hard Drive is no place for Kid’s Videos

Do you have a fairly small hard drive--1GB or less? Then you know that every precious megabyte of space matters. You can free up 7MB worth of this valuable space by deleting the video clips in the Windows 95 Help folder. (They're very elementary.)

Select Start, Find, Files or Folders. Click the Browse button, navigate your way to the C:\Windows\Help folder, and click OK. On the Named line, type

*.avi

then click the Find Now button. See all those *.avi files? Select the top one, and then hold down Shift as ou click the last. Now press the Delete key on your keyboard, and if prompted to do so, click Yes to confirm. Good riddance.
