WinDirStat

While reading through this month's "Windows IT Pro" magazine(www.windowsitpro.com/), I spotted this WinDirStat (http://windirstat.info/) listed in the free utilities section. This utility will scan a drive and all its directory structures, then graphically show you where all the space on it is being used. It shows you the breakdown per directory tree and what percentage of space is used by each filetype on the drive. You can click on any of the 'boxes' in the visualization it creates at the bottom of the application to zoom right down to the location on the drive it represents.Needless to say this is now going to be a standard tool to be installed on my file servers.
