I use this little program called Treesize Pro. There's a free trial.

And there's a free version too.

And here's a discussion from a couple of years ago where a couple of other
people explain how to do it from the command prompt

Hi David,

Open a command prompt (start/run cmd), go to the folder of choice.

Run "dir> file.txt". This will create a text file of the contents of the
folder that you can open in notepad for printing or saving.

If you wish to add the contents of the subdirectories, run "dir
<drive><folder> /s> file.txt".

If you head to google.com and search on "free directory printer", you will
also find many other useful tools.

A little confused about what you want - folders only, or the contents of
each folder? "Dates" means what? and "etc?"

From the command prompt, you could try

dir /s C:\ | findstr /b /c:" "

which will generate a listing of folder names with total contained
file-count and total size of those files.

dir /s C:\

will show each file with its date/time and size and a summary at the end of
each listed folder.

append

filename.txt

to put the listing in the file "filename.txt"

Or try asking in alt.msdos.batch.nt (for NT,2K,XP) or alt.msdos.batch (for
DOS or 9X) with a more specific requirement...

Thanks bill
just been playing with that
all these file listing programs that claim to be free invariably mean 'free
trial'

I really want to be able to list the first level directories on the root
directory of a drive with the amount of disk space each directory takes up.

Oh - so no dates and no etc.s then? Darn - love a good etc. now and then -
it becomes a challenge.

OK - try (as one line)

for /f "delims=" %i in ('dir /a:d/b C:\') do echo C:\%i&dir "C:\%i" |
findstr /b /c:" " | findstr /c:"File(s)"

The first findstr can be omitted if there are no files named "...File(s)..."

Note that this will show the total number of files and sum of those files'
sizes. It will not account for the size of any subdirectories.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Sequoia View freeware gives you
a graphic overview of your files. The largest files show up as the
largest rectangles and the disk free space is a big(hopefully) rectangle
on the right side of the Sequoia View window.

Go to http://www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/.

Wow Thanks Bill
sorry to disappoint on the 'etc'
didn't realise that command line stuff could be so lengthy and complex

Blimey (as we say in England)

Not quite what I want but interesting nevertheless
