Using XP Home edition, I have 2 hard drives, the one which came with the pc is a 40GB but I am seeing only 3GB of free space left and since I have always been experiemnting with both music and video files I am guessing that I mahve forgotten to delte some large files somewhere on the C drive, is there a way I can get to view which folders on the C drive are the largest so I can narrow this down or do I have to go look at the size of every folder one by one?

Yeah man, this is just what the doctor ordered! Amazing how you guys here find and know about these things, thanks.

 

Hey Bluerinse, how can I place an icon or shortcut to that program on the desktop? I don't see an icon anywhere, only the exe? I had seen a "quick launch" icon upon installing but I never place any item down there to cluster up the taskbar.

 

There are various ways of doing this, so for simplicity sake I will just cover one.

Right click on the desktop and chose new shortcut. Then browse to C:\Program files\Jam software\TreeSize and click on the executable file treesize.exe and click next and type a name for your new shortcut like TreeSize and then finish - Bob's ur uncle

 

got it, learned a new trick, thanks!
