#298364 - 11/05/2007 15:30 Tool to view hard drive contents
furtive old hand Registered: 14/08/2001 Posts: 886 Loc: London, UK	I know it's been mentioned here before, but I can't find it despite searching. It was a tool that showed you the contents of your hard drive in a graphical format - a bit like a pie chart IIRC. Can anyone shed any light on what it was called? I need to find out where all my disk space has suddenly gone! Thanks _________________________ Mk2a RioCar 120Gb - now sold to the owner of my old car Rio Karma - now on ebay...

In the original thread, I was sticking to a program I was using. I don't think I've used it since then, though. Scanner is a perfect little tool, and I love that it runs as a standalone app. No installation required. _________________________ Matt
