This software was suggested by a reader, Patrick, who commented on TreeSize Free. After checking out WinDirStat, it’s clearly a great utility. WinDirStat helps you manage your hard drive space. Packed with features, not only does this free software list the size & percentage of disk space used for all folders & sub-folders on your computer, it also gives you a graphical representation of your files, sorted by the type of file extension. There are also no limits on this software, this isn’t a trial version but genuine freeware, so you can scan specific folders, multiple local drives and even network drives without any restrictions (scanning network drives can be especially useful for network administrators trying to keep things lean and tidy). More handy features include user defined cleanup jobs, so you can run regular cleanups on different folders as well as shortcuts to command prompt and windows explorer for fast access to folders and files.
The main file view is also packed with information, not only do you get shown the size of folders but extra attributes as well such as total files, the number of sub-directories, last modified date and even details such as folders being read-only or hidden.
Tip: Just hit F9 to toggle the Treemap (graphical view) on/off for a clearer view of the scan results.
Here is a couple of cool flash games to have a go at (plus some scores to beat!)
Flight Sim X
Play paper aeroplanes around the office without the paper! Try to get the plane out the window for a huge score. My best is 101m.
Think you can type fast? Easy as ABC? Can you find the missing R in frenzy? Well, in this game you must type the alphabet, A to Z, as quickly as you can. I got 4.172, can you crack 4 seconds?

Well, not quite. This Alcohol isn’t the booze variety but a virtual CD application. With it, you can create disk images of any CD/DVDs you have, so it’s great for backing up all your software, in case you lose the disks. More than that, Alcohol also let’s you create virtual drives, that let you mount your disk images and run the CD/DVD from your hard drive as though the actual disk was in a physical drive. Not only does this save you from having to search around for your disks, access speeds can be greatly increased because the information is coming straight from your hard drive, so it’s also great for gamers who are tired of changing game disks everytime they play something.
The paid version of Alcohol, called Alcohol 120%, adds the ability to burn your disk images as well and letting you create 31 virtual drives (instead of the 6 allowed with Alcohol 52%). The free version does come with a toolbar as part of the installer but you can just make sure to untick it as an option during setup.
