Folder Size

Have you ever had your hard drive get so full that you had to either delete some files or move it to an external drive? I'm sure almost everybody who uses a computer probably encountered this problem and how do we go about cleaning our drive, most likely go folder by folder to see what was in it, which was very time comsuming if you had lots of folders. I don't understand why Microsoft did not include folder size display for the Explore. Anyway, to solve this problem I came upon a freeware utlity program that does exactly what I needed called "Folder Size".
