    Very likely it is Restore Points being made (I had the same thing happen, went from like 60 to 40)
    You just right-click your drive, then Properties then Disk Cleanup, then you click the tab that says More Options. There will be something that says "System Restore and Shadow Copies." Click Clean Up, should clear up tons of space (this removes all but the most recent restore point mind you!).

    This is on a Vista, not sure if this works on XP
