I've used it for years. Simple, easy, and it just does what it's
supposed to. More of an Explorer-type view than a tree view, imo.

Thx for the feedback. This is the first app I've pulled off MS' open
source coding site, codeplex. The site's worth a look.

fwiw,

My bad, Craig. I jumped to coclusions without checking your link. I've
been using FolderSize from Rotabeta, not the one you posted. I tried
that, and found the interface was very odd and didn't finish producing
partially readable results on a C: before stopping after twenty seconds.
ymmv.

The proggie I use preformed the same task in less than two seconds. You
can look it over here:
