[THIN] Re: Disk space utilities

I know you are looking for a reporting utility but for quick and dirty view
I love Sequoiaview which is a free utility that gives you a colored grapical
treemap of the drive. The bigger the square the bigger the file. You can
then right click on the square and get properties of the file and it will
tell you when it was last accessed.  This will at least help you get the
larger files off your drive in an expedient manner.
Check it out at:
