Re: show drive space used?

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.
