Hi yall!

I'm looking for a free utility that will show me at a quick glance which
folders are taking up most of the room on my hard drive.

I have a 146gb hard drive almost full and I can't tell for the life of me
what is taking up so much space.

Can anyone recommend something that works for both Vista and XP?

Please advise

Bikini Browser

WinDirStat:

From https://www.perfectdisklive.com/secu...p/Glossary.htm

Excluded Files - PerfectDisk treats any space that cannot be accessed as
excluded. The reason a file is excluded is listed on the Excluded File tab
of the Statistics Notebook. The possible reasons are:

a.. Metadata File - operating system files including the MFT.

b.. Accessed Denied - the file is opened for exclusive access by another
process such as the Pagefile or Hibernate file.

c.. Excluded - the file has been manually excluded by the user. This is
accomplished by excluding a file/folder in the Drive Properties Notebook,
Excluded Files tab.
