I am interested in comprehensive HDD contents analizer software. Which are the free newer disk viewer/sniffer in existence?
Better still if they were specific to Windows 7 64-bit.

What recommendations would the community offer that also are interface user friendly for an average home user.

Thank you kindly

"comprehensive HDD contents analizer" and "user friendly for an average home user" may be at odds with one another.

Is WinDirStat the type of application you're looking for?

Took a quick peek just now at WinDirStat. Seems about right for what I was looking, maybe a tad on the upper edge of detail but useful for my purpose. Thank you.
I recall having used in the past one little program that showed files and folders in the form of colored pie shape cuts, but I cant recall the name of it.

Thank you again Blain for your fast response.

Great again Blain. By the looks of it Folder size is the program I had used before. Thank you again. Very instructive.
