How can I get the Disc piechart ?

[SB]

How can I get the disc capacity pie chart to appear in windows xp ?

Now when using windows 98 and windows 2000 if I click on 'My Computer' to
display the list of drives, and then hover (or single click) the mouse
pointer over one of the drives (e.g. Drive C) then a pie chart immediately
appears to the left hand side of the list of drives showing total size and
remaining space on the disc etc.

Can I set up windows xp to do the same ? If so how ?

Thanks

Add the same 3rd party utility to WinXP that you used on the earlier
operating system; that has never been a native Windows ability, to the
best of my knowledge.

It's never done it on my copy of XP. The only pie chart i get is by going to
My Computer, Right clicking on the relevant drive (for example C and then,
from the drop down menu select Properties. A pie chart appears in the
properties box but i haven't seen one anywhere else.

I have a small program called Diskpie.exe that I downloaded somewhere. It
breaks up a folder or drive into subdivisions of how it is being used. I
think this was a PC Magazine utility. A google search will bring it up.

Hi,

In Windows 98 the pie chart plus other information, that I described in my
first post, appears to the left of the list of drives or folders if you
first click on the 'View' button and select 'View as web page' from the drop
down menu. I don't think this facility was from a third party software
vendor. It was part of the standard windows operating system.

However, in windows xp there does not appear to be an option to 'View as a
web page' so I guess this is why this option and the effect it had on folder
display is no longer available.... Unless someone knows different ?
Is 'View as a web page' still obtainable in windows xp ?
