\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Disktective is a convenient freeware disk-reporting tool that enables you to find out the real size of your directories and distribution of \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 used disk space.\par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Each directory on your harddisk may contain hundreds of subdirectories each of which can contain many files. To find the distribution \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 of used space inside all of these directories, you need Disktective! \par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Simply run Disktective and let the program create a complete report displaying the real sizes of all directories and their containing \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 subdirectories.\par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 In this example, it show the contents of the folder 'c:\\Documents and Settings', and the size of each of its sub-directories in bytes.\par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 The right pane shows a pie-chart of the directory which is selected in the left pane. If you click on a directory in the (left) tree-pane, you \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 will see in the right pane a pie-chart of that directory. The pie-chart is not shown at program startup, but only after there is data to \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 display - you need to run Disktective first to create a set of data.\par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Pie charts can be printed. Reports can be exported to a Disktective file, a \plain\f1\fs20\cf0\uldb TreePad\plain\f1\fs20\cf0\v http://www.treepad.com\plain\f1\fs20\cf0 file or an HTML file.\par

\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Immediately after you start up the program you are presented with a directory selection dialog. Select a directory, then press OK, and \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 disktective will start generating a detailed report for that directory. \par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Please note that when you select a root directory (such as 'c:\\') a report for the entire disk will be created, including an extra node \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 indicating the amount of free space on that disk.\par

\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 In the example above, the report is created for the folder 'c:\\documents and settings'. As can be seen above, this folder contains 582 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 Mb of data (or 582 766 592 bytes), and the report is generated on November 08, 2003.\par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 As you can also see, the folder 'All Users' (62.451 Mb large) is visible as well. It is contained in the 'documents and settings folder'. \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 According to Disktective the folder 'All Users' takes up around 62 Mb.\par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 The 'All Users' folder expanded so that the space distribution within that folder is shown. We can see that 'Application Data' is the \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 biggest user of space inside the 'All Users' folder. It uses up around 55 Mb. \par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 When we expand the folder 'Application data' as shown in the screenshot above (by clicking on the little '+' sign next to it), we can find \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 out what subdirectories inside that folder are responsible for the 55 Mb used in 'Application data'. \par
\ql\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sl\sa0 \plain\f1\fs20\cf0 We can drill down more levels to get additional information on how the used space is distributed inside the 'Microsoft' folder.\par
