So today i installed FireFox 3.5 onto a machine at work, later realizing that you have to have admin privileges to install flash! daym! but with a few quick steps, flash was working in 3 minutes.

1. Download the XPI of the Flash Player plugin. An XPI is generally a plug-in for FireFox which is in fact a ZIP archive.
2. (Rename to .zip if you want and) extract the files in the XPI.
3. Go to Start » Run » enter “%APPDATA%” » OK
4. Navigate to Mozilla\Plugins\, if this directory doesn’t exist, create it.
5. Copy flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll from the extracted files to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins.
6. Restart FireFox and flash will be installed!

Now, there are many ways to freeing up space on your hard drive, and this is just a bunch of method’s combined work well, Best with Microsoft Os’s is to use the built in software first, then finish the job with some free 3rd party apps, im gonna focus this on four applications, get a cuppa and lets begin!

I recently covered how vista’s shrink hard drive volume is crap (resizing partitions on hard drives), I had about 30GB free on my hard drive and it was only letting me shrink up to 75MB, I kinda fixed this by defragging my computer, it took about 9 hours, but then again i haven’t don’t this, ever? 
One thing i wasn’t expecting from defragging, was it to clean up disk space, and somehow 30GB managed to appear from nowhere, i was amazed!

So Here we go, first we want to go through manually, and delete all the old rubbish that we have accumulated over the years, old music we don’t listen to, old trailers to moves, old pod-casts on Itunes, un-installing games we haven’t played in years, also if you have steam you can un-install a game, and re-install it at any time on any PC, if you play online games, Like Counter-strike: source, you download gigabytes of maps, music, skins and extras, you can clean this up (steam games only) with steam cleaner.
While your at it, Organize your documents, put things into folders, and backup things you really need, and would be gutted if you lost, pictures, documents, creative pieces etc etc. 

Steps, Programmes and Downloads after the jump.
