Windows Directory Statistics

Windows Directory Statistics
www.sourceforge.net/projects/windirstat
Another download now, and a useful hard disk analyser that speaks volumes with visuals. It’s called Windows Directory Statistics. After download and installation you’re presented with a fairly basic interface. Specify the drives or folders you want to analyse and then go make a cup of tea or something while the software does its thing. They say pictures can speak a thousand words, and I guess in the case of the visual map you get here, they’d be right about that. Knowing the size of a folder and all its sub folders can be really useful when it comes to spring cleaning your data to make a bit more room. It’s a function that even the latest versions of Windows doesn’t perform. -
