You know VA, I was just staring at those very temp files and pondering their use. The magic extension tmp had me all excited, for here, there was space to be recovered and it is that which is the PIA.
The page file is large, as there are 2GB of RAM and the MFT is a bit on the big side as well, but the machine is tracking a lot of stuff over a lot of drives. If anyone else has any ideas of what to dump overboard, then please shout up.
Diskeeper 10 is appearing to do a brilliant job and is now up to drive S and seemingly loving the task it has been set. The PC hasn't gone so fast in ages, though I do worry about the flames though...
Back shortly and thanks to all for unbluting my brain

Edit - 2.47GB gone there VA. Things are looking up
