Check your My documents folder. Program setup files, documents, pictures, music, and video do not show up on your programs list and they often take up the most space. Search around in your other folders for things you have downloaded (it's easy to lose track how much stuff you get off the net).

Defragmate the drive and remove all so call cache.
Chache are the things that stay in your computer, eg news items with pictures, when you get out the short cut is created, and when you recall to see it, it is does not take much time it just pop up very fast. Any other things that pop up and is close leave a cache in your computer, you need to remove all that manually and then get program to prevent pop ups........viruses, worms.....

Clean out C:\temp and the personal temp folder under your Profiles \Local Settings folder. Also, check out the temp folders of other profiles that exist. Remove any unnecessary games or apps. Check for Spyware with Spybot and Adaware. It might be virus activity too.

Probably a virus, if all else fails, just format your drive using the disk given by the manufacturer and reinstall the things you need.

Did you put any DVDs/movies on your computer? Also, if you have a large music library that can take up alot of space, especially if you imported them in .wav or .cda format.
