FoldersReport

[Terry]

"The FoldersReport utility scans a drive or a base folder that you
select, and displays essential information for each folder that it
finds: The size of all files inside the folder, The real files size on
the disk, number of files inside the folder, number of hidden files,
number of compressed files, and number of subfolders.
You can use this utility to easily find out which folders use the most
space in your drive. You can scan the folders of your local drives,
CD-ROM drives, and network resources on a remote computer."

This is a nice 22kb exe file requiring no install.

There are other good looking progs here also.

Thanks, Terry, that site has lots of interesting small executable
programs.

Interesting site, but I wonder what on Earth they're up to with their
protocols. I get continual alerts popping up from my firewall, for a
request for an outgoing connection on TCP:85 to riedersoft.myftp.org.
Nothing malicious, I'm pretty sure, but hammering to such a degree is
very annoying.

BTW, ShellExView v1.00
http://riedersoft.myftp.org:85/~users/nirsoft/utils/shexview.html
looks pretty good at 23KB

Set your firewall up correctly and turn the alerts off.

Peace.

I know I *could* do that, but I'm wondering why the site sees the need
for such incessant hammering. I didn't disallow any of the connections
BTW, just counted them. There must have been over a dozen getting just
the one download I mentioned. Why do (a very few, fortunately) sites see
the need to do this?

God knows, and to be honest I don't care any more. I spent ages a few
years ago trying to learn about firewalls and precisely what should be
blocked/allowed in which directions. I ended up deciding that life is
just too short.
Now I just run Kerio or Atguard in newbie mode with alerts off and
never check the logs.

LOL! Keep it simple, eh? Surprising how often that actually works.
