You may find that there are several files in the Windows\Spool\Printers
folder with an .shd extension. These files have various sizes and dates
and you may run out of disk space as more of these files accumulate.

When you print using EMF format and the print spooler is set to start
printing after the first page is spooled, the .shd files are not removed
unless you restart Windows 95. This is not normally a problem unless you
rarely or never restart your computer.
Back to the top
Restart your computer to remove the .shd files. If this is an ongoing
problem because you rarely restart your computer, set the print spooler to
start printing after the last page is spooled. To do so, follow these
steps:
| 1. | Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
|
| 2. | Double-click the Printers folder.
|
| 3. | Use the right mouse button to click the icon for the printer you are
using, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
|
| 4. | On the Details tab, click the Spool Settings button.
|
| 5. | Click the "Start printing after last page is spooled" option button,
then click OK.
