• Does Not Work With 64bit Woindows 7

  Hydrology6/28/2013

  Pros

  None, does not work

  Cons

  Does Not Work

  Summary

  I cant speak for other OS's, but it does not work at all with Windows 7 64bit. After going through all the junk software that CNET adds to your system, you just get a blank pop up window separate from Explorer. The developers have no idea what they are doing.

• Does NOT work as advertised; loaded with shovelware

  4saken4044/8/2013

  Pros

  Actually works kinda, via an automated pop-up window

  Cons

  1) Comes with shovelware and viruses. These are in addition to the shovelware that comes with the CNET installer. My anti-vairus hopefully blocked 2, one was removed, and 2 more are still floating around. 2) As said above, this does NOT show file sizes of directories as shown in the preview image above. Instead it has a small window pop up with that information. It does NOT "[add] a new column to the Details view in Windows Explorer" 3) The settings do not seem to work in Windows 7. It is impossible to stop the program (it just errors out and says "Access Denied" if you try) and even simple settings don't stick.

  Summary

  AVOID AT ALL COSTS and back up your computer first if you want to attempt it.

  None whatsoever

  Waited long for this in W7 64-bit, what a relief. 5 stars for sure.

• I have Windows XP and this works like a charm!

  buddhaspake6/18/2011

  Pros

  A massive help if you need to free up some space quickly, and are headbanging over which directory is your consumption culprit!

  Cons

  None I found, but I hear this has issues with Windows 7/Vista (Vista doesn't count, it is a liability in itself)

  Summary

  My heartfelt thanks to the person who developed this.. saved me a ton of time with folder cleanup.
