hey mainter: i need a program to tell me what the largest things on my hd are.

 

any suggestions for freeware?

 

 

i've seen them, just can't recall the names

 

nevermind. ms makes one http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techi...ng/diruse-o.asp

 

 

hey if you do not know how to use it this is how in a command prompt, run:

 

cd "\Program Files\Resource Kit"

diruse /s \ | sort

 

this will take a little while to run, and then all of a sudden a list of things will come flying by the screen. When it finally stops, the end of the list will show you the directories that are taking up the most space.

I just noticed something-

 

cd "\Program Files\Resource Kit"

diruse /s \ | sort

 

Wait a minute....Microsoft uses pipe commands? So they still "borrow" from UNIX....strange. Does it behave like a real pipe command, though?

 

Oh, that's right- they "developed" Xenix...they probably kept some of the commands from that here and there.

 

Interesting, nonetheless.
