I installed windows 7 on virtual Box everything is working well except when I do stuff on Windows 7 (guest) my host's (which is a Windows XP Professional) C drive free space is disappearing so if I were to open Internet Explorer on my Windows 7 (guest) it would take up like 200 mb off my Host C: drive. Does anyone know why this is happening. Is there a fix to this problem.

Thanks.

Do you expect your Windows 7 to not grow in size when you use it? 200MB would be the IE cache growing.
The exactly same behaviour would appear on your host too...

So what ever I do on my Guest the same impact would happen in my host too.

The Guest also has 20 GB Free so should windows 7 grow in Virtual Hard Drive and not my host?

your guest hard drive is actually a file, which is located on your host hard drive. So if your guest grows, so does the file, and so does the used space on your host.

Ok thank you very much for your help.
