I use Windows Explorer with the Folder List visible. I
right-click on C: in the Folder list and choose Properties. It shows
a pie chart and says 3.8 billion bytes (3.5 GB) are used. But if,
instead, I select everything in the right pane of Windows Explorer and
choose Properties, it says only 3.4 billion bytes (3.1 GB) (size on
disk = 3.4 billion bytes (3.2 GB)). Why the discrepancy?
