- 1. What is Space Explorer for Windows?
- ================================================
-
- Space Explorer for Windows shows the disk space used by folders and their
- sub-folders. Features include:
-
- * see folder sizes in Explorer-like tree (which you can drill down,
- save and sort by name, nominal size, allocated size, wasted (slack)
- space or date)
- * see folder sizes in pie charts, bar charts, line charts, and spline charts
- * view, rotate, and print 3D charts
- * highlight trees that exceed a certain size
- * view disk space allocated and wasted
- * multithreading support (view one group of folders while other groups
- are being analysed; and set thread priorities)
- * UNC support
- * MDI support
- * drag/drop support from File Manager/Explorer
- * create/save folder lists using Explorer-like window (so you can repeat
- sizing operation)
- * install/uninstall
- * full context-sensitive Help.
-
- There are many ways to use Space Explorer. For example, you can use it
- to find out:
-
- - which directory tree is using most space;
-
- - how much disk space is being used in users' home directories;
-
- - if two or more directory trees are identical (by comparing their
- sizes); you can also browse down the directories to see where
- they differ.
-
- Using Space Explorer for Windows is very easy. If you require more
- information while you're using it, press F1. This will provide
- context-sensitive help.

-
- 2. How to install Space Explorer

- uninstalling it.
-
-
- 3. Ordering information
- ================================================
-
- Space Explorer is not free. To find out how to order it, choose the Ordering
- Information command from the Help menu in Space Explorer.
-
-
- 4. Troubleshooting
- ================================================
- If Space Explorer fails to install, check that your computer satisfies the
- system requirements listed in section 5. In particular, you will require
- support for ActiveX. If you run Internet Explorer or any other program
- that uses OLE, you will probably have the required OLE files installed
- on your computer.
-
-
- 5. System requirements
- ================================================
- The table below describes the system requirements for Space Explorer. You
- may find that you do not need a computer with a specification that matches
- these requirements. If your computer's specification falls significantly
- below these requirements, you may find that the 16-bit version of Space
- Explorer (called PKDirUse v3.0 for Windows) provides better performance.
-
