Hi Rolf, Thanks, that's a very interesting program. I couldn't figure out what "rotator" was for until I ran it on c: drive :) cute! But not really what I wanted...I need to clean my drive up so it's not filled, so I wanted to see what was taking up how much space, per directory (with a program, not by hand, looking at each dir, one after another). I made a program once that walked the directory tree, and I checked the results by right click on a folder as you also suggested, and it worked fine as I remember, *except* when I tried to apply it to a *drive* rather than just a directory; if I applied it to any directory, it gave correct results, but something (I don't remember what exactly) went wrong if I gave it a drive to walk through. I think it reported wrong sum of total space used on the drive, and may have also reported wrong values for some directories (only when applied to a drive, worked ok when applied just to a directory). I also think I had it put the space used into a tree of the directories & sub-directories, sorted by biggest first. Too bad it didn't work completely. Maybe I'll dust it off & see if I can figure what went wrong.
