  1. Can you move default directory of Windows.old


    I've been trying to find if there is a way to move the default directory of the Windows.old folder to another drive (my D Drive), as it takes a lot of space on my boot drive (C Drive). I do not really just want to delete it every time just in case I do need it.

    :)

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
