Thanks.

This program is unavailable portablefreeware.com

But I used "TreeSize Free" that I got from download.com

I found some old backups were in a lower directory using up all my disc space. I deleted some of those and freed up space on y drive.

I remember in the past one of these programs gave a heat map of files so you could see what was taking space. I thought that was on TreeSize but maybe not. It is probably on my old laptop.

I do my own backups with a batch file that runs hourly and xcopies my important files to

1 a 16 GB Flash drive that holds my Thunderbird "local files" emails and my documents.

2 different external hard drives. Redundancy never hurts. The bigger one is where Windows stores its backups and the small one is portable that I can take with my laptop to move files between the two computers.

I'm thinking about looking for a network attached drive that uses cables for desktop and laptop and wife for other stuff so it is fast for day-to-day stuff. Then keep my working files for both PCs on this but back up onto the drives of the laptop and desktop. This would make it easy to use the laptop for emails when away then drag and drop the folder back to the network drive when I return... but I guess I could also attach the laptop directly to my desktop PC and drag and drop that way... or use the slow method... a flash drive.
