Vista - search for largest folders

Hi,

I have a friend who is running Vista Ultimate. She is getting low on hard
drive space, so I am trying to help her move some large files to alternate
storage. I have gone through the obvious Pictures, Music, and Video folders
and have managed to free up some space, but for the low number of
applications she has installed, her hard drive still seems to be much more
full than it should be.

I was wondering if there is a way that I can do a search that would go
through her entire hard drive and return a list of all folders/subfolders
sorted in descending order by the the hard drive space occupied by each
folder. I'd really like to know what is hogging up all this space.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

If you want to see all the files on your computer listed with their size just type in the following below in the search field.

open a command prompt and type...
dir c:\ /s /o:-s /p

But the easiest way to regain space is to run Disk Cleanup.
Open Computer, right-click on the C: drive, select Properties.

This will remove temp files, empty the recycle bin, etc.
you can also remove all but the most recent restore point, under "More
Options"
