Get detailed info on the biggest folders on selected volume. Eliminate wasted disk space by deleting old and temporary files at your command. In addition, get a complete listing of duplicate files over all your drives. This uses a powerful 128-bit MD5 signature to ensure that files actually are equal (CRC32 also available). Capture disk states, generate reports, schedule a deletion engine, extract boot blocks for multiboot and other system tools. All in all, this is a small but powerful tool to analyze and tidy your computer in a nice safe way. _____________________________________________________________________ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS __________________________________________________________________ • Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or Windows 2000 Pro. • DiskState's deletion engine requires Windows NT/2000 to set up the service.
