Disk Usage Analyser

DescriptionEver wondered what`s using up so much space on your hard disk? Disk Usage Analyser will help you find out. This tool provides a familiar Windows Explorer view of your system which includes the size, space used, SLACK space and file count of each folder including sub Folders. It displays a pie chart or bar chart of the selected folder highlighting the big folders or files. Use the explorer or charts to find those big files or the wasted space. The display updates automatically following any file system changes making it a simple and effective monitoring tool. Includes file filters, customisable html reports, save chart to jpg tool, shell extension tools to build a shortcut collection for quick access to frequented folders and to quickly analyse a folder from Windows Explorer. Works with all local fixed and removable drives as well as remote network drives and mapped drives. Startup Disk Usage Analyser always starts with Folder Size calculation switched off. This avoids the potential problem of a lot of files causing an "out of memory" error and making it unusable. You can switch on folder size calculation any time by selecting the "Folder Sizes" button on the toolbar. ExplorerUsing the application is Straight forward and intuitive. If you`re comfortable with Windows Explorer you`ll have no trouble here. The explorer right click menu is fully functional. Most function keys operate as expected with the two exceptions I`ve found: the Delete key doesn`t work, you have to select Delete from the context menu. If you hold down the Shift key the selected files are completely deleted, otherwise the files will go to the Recycle Bin. Ctrl-A for Select All doesn`t work, you have to use Shift-End or Ctrl click the required files.
