Right-click "My Computer", select "Properties". Why people release stupid
little apps that show things that Windows natively does, is beyond me.

Uhm... becaue there are people *not* so capable of handing all options
Windows offers???;-) Many things that the utilities we use so often do
for us can be done with simple registry hacks as well... But who of us
can say he/she knows the registry from A-Z? Not me, that is for sure

Shortcut to your suggestion BTW is: Hold down the Alt-key and double-
click the "My Computer" icon, same result!

Even quicker: Hold down Windows + Break/Pause. :) No need for an app.
