I thought I would be clever and hoped I would gaining a new clean and small
User profile because the profile was 50MBs. I created a new user as
administrator and changed all to how I wanted it and looked at the new User
profile. It is more than 2GBs. Can I refresh the profile to have it small?

50 MB is not a *huge* profile - considering I make many default user
profiles of 23MB or so in size these days.

If you have a 2GB profile, however - I suggest you remove any files you have
(pictures, installables, documents, spreadsheets, etc) and email
(contacts\actual messages) you have located in that profile. No need for
all that in a default user profile. My Documents might be the first place
to look after the desktop.
 
If you still have that 50mb User Profile ...and now realise that its size is
fine....you could of course delete that new user and regain that space.

I really don't have a lot of Documents. I do alot of web browsing, I play
online games, I have Farstones Virtual Drive Pro 11.5(the up to date
version)...I keep the system clean clean clean. I have a feeling the
Farstone product is responsible...ding!...I just clicked...Farstone stores
VCDs in the Documents folder, which is what it makes when it makes virtual
CDs and I have a bout 8 game CDs in the VCD folder.
I noticed yesterday and again today there is some noise like static through
the headphones when I play games. Today straight after a Disk Check (before
Windows starts) there was an error message saying Windows did not start
properly...the message explained a driver was a problem. I am using USB
headphones and the manufacturer does not have an updated driver. I installed
the headphones and driver 2 days ago. Not everything has static noises, just
the games.
