Solve : program to track of size of folders?

Answer»

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. This morning I checked the size of C- drive (hard drive) on my machine used as a file-server. I found the size has increased so dramatically. My question is whether there is a program that i can use to keep track of which folders that have increased in size on a daily basis on windows XP Pro and i can deal with it.

I tried to google it but to no avail. Don't know what's the better name i should google by.

Thank you in advanceAssuming you have Windows XP,

You could try doing a search on all files modified within the past week and set the size to above 10mb (or about 10000kb) and search the C drive.
After it finished searching, arrange everything by size or date and see what comes up.associates...

I've found the following freeware (Monidir) for you after doing a Google search for a free file monitoring program:

This is compatible with Windows 9.x/ME/2000/NT.

I've submitted a question to their support team to see if this is compatible with XP. You can check the STATUS of this question here:

It may be some time, though, before they respond to the question I have asked.Quote from: associates on June 07, 2007, 01:24:10 AM

just KEEPING track right?
here's a simple vbscript to display to you files with more than XX bytes
Code: [Select]
Set FSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sDIR = "c:\temp" 'directory to search
Set objDIR = FSO.GetFolder(sDIR)
For Each efile in objDIR.Files
If efile.Size > 10000000 Then '10000000 bytes
WScript.Echo "File " & efile & " is " & efile.Size & " bytes"
End If
Next

of course, you can also parse out the dir command , GRAB the size from the output, do some calculation, and then display the files you want that are over xx bytes http://www.diskview.com/screenshots.htm

Spoiler...great find...

However the first one seems to be trialware...

The second...BINGO...good if installed on one PC. Again...nice find!Glad you liked it. I think even the trial one was pretty good if you don't mind spending a few dollars.

Enjoy!
