You can create dynamic VHD files that will gradually grow towards a maximum size. Do they shrink as well? And if they don't, can you make it shrink back down to whatever size it actually needs to be at the moment?

No they do not shrink by themselves, but you can shrink them manually. Remember to run the pre-compactor tool before shrinking it. In Hyper-V you shrink it from the disk settings dialog. If you're not running a virtualization suite I'm not sure how you are suppose to do it though - but there's a tool called VHD Resizer that might help. | ||||

Might be worth looking at this similar question with 5 or six answers. I suspect you can ignore the one about 'putting it in the dryer'. | |||
