I have my 40 gig HD partitioned into 4X10gig.
I have XP in one, other stuff in the others. Still, the Windows partition is
getting full despite my thorough cleaning.
My question is:
Is there a way to make WinXP use the other partitions?
Like move the Program Files folder or the System restore backups? I already
figured out how to move Temp internet, My Docs, Email files. And of course
other installed programs. But it seems that some programs still put some
stuff in the Windows partition. Anything else I can move to other
partitions?

Thank you.

To move programs uninstall from the C: drive and reinstall elsewhere.
System restore can't be redirected but the amount of space allocated to
it can be reduced. Enlarge the XP partition.
 
I would strongly urge you to reconfig your drive to allow 20Gig for the C
partition
and leave the rest for other data, 10 Gig is not enough for XP as you are
already noticing, you can use partition magic to do a non destructive re-size
of your c partition, however I always recommend making a backup first of
important data.
