"very excellent, and easy to use interface"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
I like that it told me the number of files that were defragmented, and the number which were not defragmented. It left it up to me to learn why, and burn them onto a disc.
Cons
Needs to defrag all files, no matter what.

"Crashed My Computer"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Installed OK
Cons
The software upon openning searched my computer for all files which took a few minutes. I was only interested in deleting files that I had previously removed but, still left some trace behind. All I removed was those traces from my program files. I didn't fine many but, deleted those I did find. I rebooted my computer and up came the blue screen which said it had stopped my computer from loading. I booted in safe mode and deleted this software; rebooted and everything was fine again. If you care about your computer DO NOT download this product.

"Piece of junk"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Cons
Could not even download this program. The file was corrupt. Best leave this one alone and save yourself a headache.

"very useful"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
this is a very useful way to figure out what's hogging all the space in your hard drive. makes it easy to get rid of stuff, and automatically redraws the diagram

"Very useful tool"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
This is a great tool to help keep your system in shape. When I first used it, I discovered a few junk files taking up Gigs of space. It would have been impossible to know of these without WinDirStat.
Cons
I'm a little worried that it could be too simple to delete system files and important files. Try to use the "open in windows explorer" feature before you delete anything, just so you know you aren't deleting anything else.

"you like colors? you'll love this..."
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
every little itzy, bitzy, piece of stuff in your pc is in the finished scan as a colored blob and on the side the percentage of each piece. you can even delete a piece of something you don't want anymore in your system from this board too!
Cons
you know what? my advanced windows care finds the stuff i shouldn't have in my system without all the colors in the world in front of me...again, as i said at the top: you like colors? you'll love this!

"Quite Good, but . . ."
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Its quick and it provides a great visual representation of what's on your drive -- tho I'm not sure how useful this techicolor display really is. I do like the listing of the total space used by each major group of file types.
Cons
I'm half thinking, "Do I really need yet another utility cluttering up my PC?" Decision here still pending.

"Usefull tool for finding garbages"
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
Pros
Easily finding the massive files on disk - useful for finding big and lost garbage files.
Gives you an estimation of how your disk space is used by folder contents.
Cons
Very slow initial process.
