Growing System file

We have a lab of Classics, 4/40, 7.1/SU 3.0 upgrade. At-Ease 2.0.3 is used to
keep the sixth graders who use them from messing with the system folder.

Recently the system has started to enlarge itself to the point where it is so
big, nothing else will run. At start-up it is about 1,200k. This usually
happens after being in PrintShop. When we quit PrintShop, then try to open
Microsoft Works 3.0, for example we get an out of memory error. The system has
enlarged to over 3,000K and we have to reboot to shrink it back down.

It doesn't happen on all of the machines. The extensions, and control panels
are bare bones. Only essential items are installed. Extensions are;
Moire(screen saver), HP 6.0 printer driver, Microsoft Spell checker, a couple
others.

Any Ideas?
