I like Spacemonger

Well, dfolder doesn't work with Windows 2K or XP and I have to say that I don't really like the user interface with Spacemonger (although the price is right!).

The one I like (but it costs) is bundled with PowerDesk 5. www.ontrack.com
It is called Size Manager, and it lets you see the entire tree or a subdirectory tree, which can be sorted by large to small. I use it to do my purges of old, humongus stuff clogging up the arteries of my hard drive. Once you find a bloated directory you can right click on it to explore it.

Typically I end up burning CD's and moving stuff off. (DVD's soon)

Pardon me for looking on the web page and noticing the X marks indicating that it does not work for Win2k and XP.

That's ok, it doesn't look like they're completely aware of what their stuff works in. On this link, W2K has an X mark, yet in the description it's an "NT/2000 utility".
