Save time. Save money. Save Space!

"What happened to all my disk space?"
"Will this backup fit on a DVD?"
"Where are the files that are eating my hard drive?"
Save disk space!
The Fretless Space Explorer is incredibly useful for managing and
maintaining your hard drives. Unlike the Windows Explorer, which only shows file
sizes, it displays the folder size as well. This is incredibly useful when you're
trying to clean up your hard drive, recover disk space, plan your backups, improve
hard drive defragmentation, or just to understand how your disk space is being allocated.
Save time!
Similar utilities calculate folder sizes one at a time, making you wait until it gets
to the folders you're interested in. Space Explorer quickly
analyzes all folders simultaneously, so you see as much information as
possible, as fast as possible. No more waiting to find what you're looking for while
it scans your entire drive or large folders you don't care about.

Other Features
In addition to showing you how many files, folders and bytes are in each folder
on your hard drive, this program also has lots of useful features:
- Compress files and folders
- Encrypt files and folders
- Cleanup temporary or unneeded files
- Uninstall unused programs
- Defragment your hard drives

 Running the Application
The program looks very much like the Windows Explorer, which is the program that
starts when you run My Documents or My Computer. When you select a folder
on the left side of the window, the contents of that folder will display on the
right side. All the folders will immediately start calculating their sizes
and display them as the calculations complete. Folders containing fewer files
and folders will typically display their sizes faster, while larger folders will
require more time to calculate. Tip: Click a column
header (such as Logical Bytes ) to sort by that value; click it again to
reverse the sort order.
Total disk space and free space are shown at the bottom of the window. To
the right, you can see the total sizes, both logical and physical (compressed), of
all the currently selected files and folders.
The Tools menu also provides various features and links to Windows utilities that
will help you maintain the performance and free space of your hard drives, such
as Disk Cleanup and Defragment.
Installation Instructions
- Download the installer.
- When prompted, select Open to run the installation. This will begin the installation.
(Alternately, you can select Save to save the installation file to your computer,
and then execute it by double-clicking the file.)
- Because this program does not currently have an "Authenticode signature", you may
be prompted that the Authenticode signature was not found. Select Yes to continue,
then follow the installation instructions.
After the installation is complete, you can launch the application from the Fretless
Consulting folder (in the All Programs folder of the Start Menu), from an icon on
your Desktop or fromthe top of your Start Menu (depending upon which options you
selected during the install).
