        TreeSize: Software of the Month

Wondering where all your hard drive space has gone? Tired of trying to
figure out folder sizes from the less than informative Windows Explorer?

If it's the end of the month, it must be time for a small freeware gem. The
List offers its gentle members a great little utility, TreeSize, to uncover
exactly where and what is swallowing vast megabytes of hard disk space. 

As the author states,"Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long
enough. TreeSize tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize can
be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the
size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder
in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder.
Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize
is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system can be displayed
and the results can be printed in a report."

Using TreeSize is simplicity itself while its own space requirements are
suitably modest, taking just over half a megabyte. Suitable for Win9x, NT,
2000 and XP, the zipped download is just 315 kb in size.
 
Discover where all that space has gone with the TreeSize utility from:
