It doesnt like you either.

So why does saving stuff on an external hard drive take up space on my actual hard drive and can I stop that ****? Is it just indexing?

Did you try turning it off then back on again?

It's probably a program saving appdata to your install drive.

Delete yo %temp% folder.

Anyone know much about vbscript? I'm running a shell script from a vbs file to redirect output to a log file

ie.
Set v_obj_shell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
v_result = v_obj_shell.Run("command thingy > "some file.txt"", 0, True)



When I save the command I'm running to a text file and copy and paste it to the command line it works as expected and outputs the log file I'm after but when I run it from within the vbs I don't get a log file. Any thoughts on why this might be the case?

You would probably have more luck over at https://stackexchange.com/

I don't know they get all snarky over there, not like here where everyone's balanced and friendly lol.

We're friendly, just not balanced.

If you right click on the file you saved and click the Previous Versions tab, if it doesn't say that there are no previous versions available, and you see a bunch of file versions, it could be that you have shadow copies enabled and they're saving on your main disk. Normally you'd have to tell shadow copies where to save that kind of thing but I don't know you nor the fingers that been all up in your computer.
