Are any of you familiar with this little program? I found it in another ng.
After unzip and running it, it shows a pie chart with various colors.
Place the mouse pointer over one the colors and click it and it shows
what that type file is and where it's located on your drive.

'Scanner' is also a wonderful little free program. It shows you where your
directories and files are, in the form of a pie chart. It really shows up
where the 'big stuff' is, and which you forgot you had.
No install. Just unzip, and run. You can run it off a floppy, CD memory
stick.

Looks like a good one. And your mentioning it reminds me that I came
across this neat program from Sysinternals while I was downloading all
their stuff the other day:

Guess the reason MS didn't include the ability to do this kind of thing
in Defrag was that Norton would have complained about it.

From the screen shot, it appears to do the same thing, except in bar graphs
instead of a pie chart. Is everything gone from sysinternal now? :(

No, it's all still there.

Incidentally, I ran Diskview on my hard drive and frankly, there are so
many files that the lines indicating them are almost microscopic.

If you use SequoiaView you can decide which level of the path you see.

The screen shot of Sequoia looks very similar to WinDirStat (which is
very good). Are either DiskView or Sequoia non-install? That's what I
like about Scanner - I can use it on my works PC without upsetting the
IT people.
