It is often difficult to evaluate files and folders on your hard drive and their relation to each other, in terms of size, age, and date. More Space includes a handy feature which enables you to view file/folder statistics in easy to read charts and bar graphs, which can then be customized to your liking and printed out.

Use the Space tab to see a bar chart or an animated pie chart representation of your hard drives. The amount of free space is shown both graphically and in percentage form. It also shows you the combined used and free space for all of your hard drives.

The Types tab shows the main file types found on your hard drive and the relative percent of each type. You can view the information in a listing, or in a pie chart by size, number of files, or average size. This graph can be customized using the toolbar options.

The next tab, Sizes, displays the number of files in particular ranges of file sizes, with smaller ranges for smaller files. The numbers are also shown as percentages, and the chart can be changed to display by number of files instead. This graph can be customized using the toolbar options.

The Overhang tab shows the overhang for FAT and FAT32 drives (drives formatted using DOS, Windows 95 and 98). It's very useful for knowing how much drive space is being wasted, and how much you could regain by changing the partition size and/or changing to FAT32.

The Accessed, Created, and Modified tabs show the accessed, created, and modified dates of files within certain date ranges. The Combined tab combines all three tabs into one simple graph for easy comparison. You can view the chart by size, by number of files, or in a listing format. This graph can be customized using the toolbar options.

The Attribute tab displays the statistics for files labeled as Hidden, Read-only, System, or Archive. The number of files and the hard drive space used are shown for each attribute, as well as the individual percentages for each.

The last tab, Time, is useful for viewing when you use your computer the most. It shows a rather impressive graph of how many files were created or modified at certain times of the day. This graph can be customized using the toolbar options.

The graphs for the Types, Sizes, Accessed, Created, Modified, Combined, and Time tabs can be customized using the buttons on the toolbar at the top of the graph window. The basic functions include Rotate, Move, Zoom, Depth, Print, and Copy (to the Clipboard). It also includes an Edit button which enables you to further customize the graph.

The Edit window lets you customize the graph to your heart's delight. A few of the numerous options for the graphical appearance of the chart are shown in the screen above. The screen to the right shows some further options for displaying the data and grid.

You can get a little carried away in your customization, as the screen to the left shows. Once you've got it the way you want it be sure to print it out, or copy it to another application such as Microsoft Word to include it in a presentation or report.
