Subdirectory Sizes Script
Ever wonder where all your hard drive space is going? At work,we had a 1 terabyte hard drive that was quickly filling up and wanted to know where all the space was going. Some of the directories were so large that right-clicking on them would essentially crash windows (make the explorer window nonresponseive), so another solution was needed.
So I wrote a VB Script to do the job. Simply place this VB Script in any directory and double-click it. It will find the size of every subdirectory therein and create a log file listing the sizes of every subdirectory. The script’s log file is written in HTML and displayed in Internet Explorer. This was done to create a log flie that is easier to read.
If you’d like to use this script, feel free to download it here. If you’d like features added to the script, please leave a comment.
