Question : Problem: Missing free space??

I have a Thinkpad with a 40GB hard drive. It is nearly full...but I cannot find what is using about 10GB of space.

Roughly speaking here is where the space is going:

5GB to the Thinkpad recover partition
6GB to user files
5GB to OS and program files

I have run the Disk Cleanup routine...I have even done a Run %temp% to clear out hidden temp files

If I go into the C drive and select all of the folders and check the properties, it adds up to about 15GB.

I even tried this with View Hidden Files turned on.

What gives?? Is there an untility that will give me a report of all the contents?

You might try ExplorerXP at http://www.explorerxp.com/ (it's freeware). It'll give you sizes of each folder on your hard drive (be patient, it took over 3 minutes for it to look inside my folders on a 120Gb drive). Knowing where it's going is a step in knowing why.
