There are more tools that have similar functionality, probably most of them without an extension list though. Like: -DirGraph (http://www.spillett.net/dirgraph/) -Disktective (http://www.disktective.com/) -Folder Size (http://www.sulaco.co.za/downloads.htm, doesn't "see" files over 2 GB as taking up more than 2 GB of space) -Space Monger (http://www.werkema.com/software/index.php, v1.4 is still freeware) -i.Disk (http://www.memecode.com/) And more. Look under Folder/Disk Space Usage at http://tinyapps.org/file.html for a few more, including command line versions for those so inclined.

It also helps to locate that long forgotten huge files that may clutter uselessly the hard drive. Just hovering the mouse over the map and reading the realtime updated directory/filenames give you an immediate idea of the complete disk layout. Perfect!
