 | Wanted to let some of you know about a great little utility I got today.
I am always irritated by having to use the properties option to check on
the size of folders.
Found this utility that gives a folder size column in the normal
"Detail" view.

Works a treat.

The best program I know for analysing space usage is TreeSize
http://www.jam-software.com/treesize/index.shtml
You can download an evaluation version, I don't know about current version
but previous 'evaluation' versions had no time limitations or functionality
restrictions - it is actually included quite often on cover discs for
various computer magazines. Even if you do decide to pay for it it's only
something like E35.
It doesn't work within Explorer, it's stand alone but gives you a very
detailed listing of your space usage, both numerically and graphically.

Speaking of zapping large files,
http://www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/
is interesting. It shows files as squares, relative to the size of the
file. So small files are tiny squares, but large ones are huge. It
isn't something you would use on a daily basis, but it can be useful
to check from time to time. The first time I used it, I recovered an
amazing 17GB from just 2 undeleted temporary files created by a
corrupt installer program. I'd never have spotted them otherwise.
