DOS "XTREE" equivalent for Windows XP to look at disk usage?

**Iphone** · 17-Apr-2007, 03:58 AM

Question: I want to be able to quickly see how much disk space is used in each of my folders. I don't want to navigate up & down & all over and right-clicking "Properties" doing this manually, as I have a large complicated folder hierarchy. Many years ago (haha like 15 or so) there used to be a DOS util called XTREE that would do this - it would print out all folders (directories) and a number that showed how much space was used by each.

Does anybody know of a utility that will do something similar?

I use this free program:

JAM Software - Windows Freeware
Windows Freeware

TreeSize V1.62
Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report. TreeSize is Mailware for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.
