Thanks. I THOUGHT I still had "Hide Protected Files" UNchecked, but turns out it had been re-checked since last time I posted. Should have looked before posting!

Thanks

OK, I'll bite - what am I looking for here?

(Or are you throwing me out of CH?)

[url = http://tweaks.com/forum/Topic261663-14-1.aspx?Update=1 ] http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/[ /url ]

That blue text which reads "http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/" is actually associated with a link to "http://tweaks.com/forum/"

I messed with the php code to make it show up in the quote.

Jam-software has a freeware app called Tree Size Pro which will, as they claim, "quickly scan directory sizes and find space hogs"

WOW - that's strange. Somehow got the links mixed up there - crossed wires. I'll fix it now.

I was suggesting you download and run treesize

Yeah, it took me to Tweaks forum's homepage.

I had already deleted the "FOUND.*" files, so I'll have to wait til another opportunity presents.

Thanks, though!
