So that made it clear ...<br /> I turned it off again, but to my surprise after restart the free space on my harddrive had changed.<br /> Not so dramatic something is wrong, but I have enabled and disabled UAC 3 times to make sure I'd seen it right ...</p> <p>With UAC switched on I use 4,6 % of my 500 GB harddrive<br /> With UAC switched off I use 4,9 % of my 500 GB harddrive.</p> <p>Now where's the logic in that? LOL!</p> <p>Have a nice day!<br /> Sarah. </p>
