Re: Program Files & Program Files (x86)???

If you check the actual space being used you will probably find that the 64
bit Program Files contains only directory information for the actual 32 bit
files that are in the 32 bit program files folder. The amount of space is
probably minimal and as more and more of your 32 bit programs are replaced
by 64 bit programs the number of entries in the 32bit program files will
decrease.
