I think you should spend some time with your sister expaining the basics
of how computers work - clearly she's a little confused about a /lot/ of
things.
One thing is somewhat correct, though - if you fill up the hard drive,
then windows will slow down due to the way it's virtual memory is
typically set up.
I don't really understand the bit about you using outlook express so
that mum can read your emails; I think she's very very confused there.
Don't give up - try to educate.
