WinDirStat is neat

October 26, 2007 – 5:29 am

WinDirStat is a simple Windows program that displays the files and directories of a partition as rectangles proportional to their size, allowing you to quickly see what’s taking up the space. Among the good design decisions the authors made, the files are colored by file type and very helpfully shaded.

Of course, the program basically has to index your partition anew each time it starts, but I was pleased to find this process doesn’t take too long (~ 2 min. for a 200 GB drive).
