Hi all, running XP pro, 4 partitions on 2 HD's. Is there anyway I can get
windows to list the files in a partition (or even a drive) JUST in order of
size, rather than any other parameter?
TIA

There`s an awful lot of files on your system partition, you`d need a long
piece of paper.
<g>. Explain what your trying to do.

you have the option to show files by size
look on the task bar you should see it

In a Dos window (Start\Run CMD <Enter>)

Cd \ (to take you to the root of the partition)
type in:
DIR *.* /S /O-S (largest files listed first)
Control-C will stop the display at any time.

Typing in: DIR /? will give a list of options

DIR *.* /S /O-S > text.txt - will create a text file of all the files.

To add you might first want to unhide all your files
Attrib -H /S *.* (from the root of the drive, CD \)

Hidden files will not be listed by the DIR command

For a partition do a blank search on the root for all file types, making
sure you have [include subfolders] selected in the search's [more
advanced options]. You can also choose whether to include system folders
or hidden files.
