Vista hard drive space usage

I've shrunk the size of my system restore points from 16+ GB to 4GB. I have a couple of questions regarding this:
Is this the size of each restore point? Or the size of the restore point 'pool', so to speak?
Is this the only thing that Vista has that eats up hard drive space? I ask because in the last month - before I shrunk the restore point size - I lost about 10GB of space according to Vista. Granted, I downloaded Half-Life 2 Episode 2, but I don't think that's 10GB in size. That was the only thing in the last month that I've done that would've taken up a large amount of space. I've actually been erasing old files/programs/games to try to stem Vista's advance. So, is there anything else I can do to slow, if not stop, Vista's desire to take up more and more of my hard disk space?
