Ever wonder what is inside your PC. Do you do housekeeping for your PC now and then? Do you remember where you saved your movies that you have downloaded and that movie is already shown on TV. Or Photoshop files which already not used for years hidden somewhere. Do you know which folder consume the biggest space in your PC hard drive or external drive? Maybe you are a server admin and you want to know which shared folders are hogging down the servers. Maybe some of the staff put a MP3 collection to the server and these expert guys hide it somewhere hidden in a forest of folders.

I ‘d like to share this tools to all who reads my blog of course. Have been using it for years now. It is called ExplorerXP. A very useful tool. It helps me to organize and do some quick CSI on my servers. What it does, it displays the size of the current folders in the current view. That’s it. I don’t know why windows don’t have this. The best part of it, it is free to be downloaded (size 401K). One quick set up, you are done. Right click any of the folder you will see ExplorerXP in the menu. If it is very useful because sometimes I don’t remember what I have put in those folder I have created. Sometimes you will be surprise, windows temporary files can reach up to more than 5GB! After you view your C Drive using ExplorerXP. It is also an addition to windows default explorer. The freeware can be downloaded from here.

One more thing, I’ve installed in onto Windows XP (all version), Windows  2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista (all version). It all works the same. Who ever have a very large multimedia collections will find this stuff very usefull indeed.  Hhhmmm.. strange, Why my MS word folder is so large. Waa la weeh, I’ve accidently dropped my Matrix movie collection in there. Hehehe..
