A friend at work has turned me onto a great utility for Windows, called SpaceMonger. It can be found here: http://www.werkema.com/software/spacemonger.html It graphically shows you your disk and what's taking up space, and how much space it's taking. If you're running low on hard drive space (as poser content tends to do), this is a nice utility for managing that little problem. M.J. Bussey

Indeed nice. Showed me just how EMPTY my hard disk actually is, and showed some totally useless stuff that was occupying amazingly huge amounts of space. The website is also an outstanding example.... friendly, good explanation. Sort of Geepish, if that's a word.

This should make it easier for folks to click on instead of cut & pasting. Dave

"Sort of Geepish, if that's a word." LOL! A lovely sentiment. And if it isn't already a word, then it ought to be. "Geepish: adj. In the style of and up to the standard of the tutorials and explanations by Dr Geep. A few very rare examples from other sources exist." Cheers, Diolma

I've been using the freeware version of Treesize. It provides a Windows Explorer tree with the sizes of each directory (ordered largest to smallest) rolled up to the highest level. Clicking on the "+" shows how much space each subdirectory uses. I haven't tried SpaceMonger, but it's graphical representation looks less straightforward than Treesize. I've provided a link in case somebody wants to try it.
