1. Overview of diskSpace Explorer Pro

diskSpace Explorer Pro is a professional tool, powerful, intuitive and 
easy to use, that runs under Windows NT, Windows '98 and '95 and allows 
the network professional to manage the server hard disk space and make 
intelligent allocation decisions for its capacity... yet it is simple 
enough for the average computer user at home on non-networked computers 
to allocate and manage hard drive space the way professionals do.

The networking administrator, or the home user, can view the hard 
disk, recognize user directories which are large, and examine for 
wasted space and useless files... all done by a simple graphical, 
view and click, interface.

The Explorer-style interface features a drive and folder tree view 
in the left-hand panel and five overlapped pages on the right to give 
you detailed information about the selected path.

The first page contains an interactive pie chart that graphically 
displays the contents of the selected folder (directory). The pie 
chart can be used to easily navigate through your files and folders. 
Click on pie sections to zoom into the subfolders of the current 
folder. Click anywhere outside the pie chart to go back to the parent 
folder. When moving the cursor over a section of the pie chart, you'll 
get detailed information on that section such as the name, type, full 
path, size, amount of wasted space, etc. When you right click your 
mouse on a file or folder, you'll get a context menu to perform various 
functions on them (explore, copy, delete).

The second page displays detailed information about the current folder 
(the amount of used, allocated and wasted space, the number of files 
and subfolders, the creation date and the date of the last access and 
change, security information, etc.). The third page contains a 
detailed list of the subfolders of the current folder. You can select 
to view only the top subfolders, or only the subfolders larger than a 
given size. The fourth page reports how much space is wasted by the 
current folder due to the drive cluster size and how much would be 
wasted if the folder were located on drives with other cluster sizes. 
The last page offers you a few options to free up some disk space: you 
can compress folders and their files to ZIP archives to reduce the 
space they use, you can delete the folders you don't longer need, etc.

A Tree Bar Chart window is also available. It is designed to help the 
user quickly find large folders (disk hogs). Bar charts usually offer 
a faster visual assessment, which makes tracking down disk hogs an 
easier task.

In addition to summarizing allocated space, diskSpace Explorer Pro 
will also tell you how much space is wasted due to the drive cluster 
size. It will also show you how your drive would look and how much 
space would be wasted with another cluster size or file system (such 
as FAT32). This feature can help you make intelligent choices on how 
to repartition your hard disk to reduce the wasted space. It can also 
help you measure the space required to copy your files to CD-ROMs or 
floppy disks.

diskSpace Explorer Pro can help you take snapshots of your drives by 
copying the graphical pie chart display of your folders to the 
clipboard or to graphic files. diskSpace Explorer Pro can export 
reports containing detailed information about folders and drives. It 
can also export detailed lists of folders in space, comma or tab 
delimited format. The reports can contain only the top ten folders, 
only the folders larger than a given size, etc. The reports can be 
generated in both interactive and command-line mode (from batch files, 
SystemAgent, etc.)

diskSpace Explorer Pro is tightly integrated with the Windows shell: 
you can display the Explorer context menu or the item properties the 
same way you perform these tasks in Windows Explorer. Because of this 
tight integration, network administrators can easily access valuable 
information, such as security information, the files/folders owner, 
last access date, etc.

The Options menu will help customize your scanning experience. You can 
choose to show or ignore individual files and wasted space, change the 
pie chart colors or have diskSpace Explorer Pro automatically scan 
selected drives when the program loads.
