Some people may recall that not too terribly long ago, a good deal of what one did on their computer was restricted by their hard drive space .  I do not know how many times I would spot check my hard drive space, on my Windows 95 computer, to make certain that I had enough free space from programs, images, and the like.有些人也许会记得,不是太可怕不久前,是一个很好的协议什么样的一个没有在他们的电脑受到限制他们的硬盘空间 。我不知道有多少次我想突击检查我的硬盘空间,对我的Windows 95计算机,做出一定的,我有足够的自由空间,从程序,图像,和喜欢。

Fast forward a few years, and the average personal computer’s hard drive is 120 or 160 gigabytes, compared with the meager 6 gigabytes hard drive in the aforementioned Windows 95 computer.快速前进几年,平均个人电脑的硬盘驱动器是120或160千兆字节,比较微薄6千兆字节硬盘驱动器在上述Windows 95计算机。

So free space is no longer an issue, right?  We would think that this is the case, but system administrators, technicians, and home computers continue to run into situations where there is less free space than they thought.  A good deal of people can easily keep abreast of their current free space simply by checking the My Computer panel, then clicking on View, and then Details.  Doing so will produce a  view similar to this screen shot.因此,自由空间不再是一个问题,对不对?我们会认为这是个案,但系统管理员,技术人员和家用电脑继续运行到的情况下,有较少的自由空间比他们的思想。是一个很好的协议的人可以容易掌握他们目前的自由空间,只要检查我的电脑面板,然后点击视图,然后细节。这样做将产生的看法与此类似的画面。

Now we know, at a high level overview, that this computer has approximately 40 gigabytes free, with that total drive size being 74.4 gigabytes.  That is all good and well, but you have to wonder what is consuming the other 34.4 GB of space.  May I introduce a utility that will not only give a breakout of the used space data, but will colorize it as well.现在我们知道,在一个较高的水平概述,即这台电脑上大约有40千兆字节的自由,与总驱动器大小正74.4千兆字节,这是所有好的和好,但你却不知什么是消费其他34.4 GB的空间。我介绍一种实用工具,不仅将提供一个突围的使用空间数据,但将它作为colorize 。

WinDirStat ( windirstat http://windirstat.info/ ) is a simple program, which provides the user with a tree style outline of what is on a hard drive.  It also color codes the type of files consuming the most space.  The interface is rather straight forward any easy to pick up and use. )是一个简单的计划,该计划为用户提供了一棵树作风纲要什么是对硬盘驱动器。它还颜色代码类型的档案消费最空间。界面,而不是直提出任何容易回升和使用。

When starting WinDirStat, the initial screen asks the user what drive they want scanned.  If your Windows computer has one hard drive, default is the C:\ drive, you would select this one and proceed.  Granted, if your machine had multiple hard drives, WinDirStat can scan one, two, or all of them at the same time.开始时windirstat ,初始屏幕要求用户是什么驱动他们想要扫描,如果您的Windows计算机有一个硬盘驱动器,默认是C : \驱动器,你会选择此一进行。理所当然的,如果您的机器有多个硬盘驱动器, windirstat可以扫描一,二,或他们都在同一时间内。

Once you click on Ok, WinDirStat begins its calculations.  The time is takes to sort out your hard drive(s) depends on the overall speed of your computer, and what other programs you have running at the time.  A recommended approach would be to close any other programs that are open, then run WinDirStat, for faster results.一旦你点击确定, windirstat开始计算。的时间是需要清理您的硬盘驱动器( )取决于整体的速度,您的电脑,其他什么节目你有跑步的时间。推荐的做法将是关闭任何其他程序是公开,然后运行windirstat ,为了更快地获得效果。

After the scan is completed, the panel on the right side of the screen will show the color coded listing of what files, and types, occupy the most space.  To give an idea of the type of file space consumption, ISO files are are typically larger in size, than say JPG (image) files.  So this color set could represent a few large ISO files, but probably hundreds, or thousands, of JPG files.  It could, however, be the other way around…后扫描完成后,该小组在右边的屏幕上会显示彩色编码上市什么样的文件,和类型,占据大部分空间。举一个构思的档案类型的消费空间,国际标准化组织的文件通常是在较大的规模,比说, JPG格式(图像)文件,所以这个颜色设置可以代表几个大的ISO文件,但可能数以百计,或数以千计, JPG文件,它可以,不过,其他方式…

As we can see, the My Documents folder is holding a good chunk of data.  As you drill down through the folder lists, from a higher level folder like Documents and Settings, to a lower level folder (My Documents in this case); you get more detail with files and folders.我们可以看到, My Documents文件夹是持有一个良好的大块的数据。你的细目,通过该文件夹列表,从更高层次上的文件夹一样,文件和设置,到较低的水平文件夹(我的文档在这种情况下) ;你获得更多详细的文件和文件夹。

Further inspection shows an ISO file consuming 3.9 gigabytes of space.  Let’s say that we are done using that particular file and want to remove it.  We can right-click on the entry, and choose “Delete (no way to undelete!)”.  This will bypass throwing the file in the Windows Recycle Bin.进一步检查表明, 1的ISO文件消费3.9千兆字节的空间,让我们说我们是做了使用特定的文件和要删除它,我们可以右键点击进入,选择“删除(没有办法删除! ) “ 。这将绕道投掷文件,在Windows回收站。

We can navigate the results in the tree view.  However, we can also hover the mouse pointer in the multicolor mesh at the bottom of the WinDirStat screen.  This jumbled mess matches up with the right hand panel and the color coding.我们可以浏览结果在树状视图中。不过,我们也可以将鼠标指针悬停在多色网格在底部的windirstat屏幕上,这混乱的烂摊子匹配起来,右手小组和颜色编码。

Difficult to decipher, yes.  But you can discern that the large blue square was the ISO file we discussed earlier.  This is just another way that WinDirStat displays the interpretation of your hard drive.难以破译,是的。但是您可以看出,该较大的蓝色广场的ISO文件,我们前面讨论过,这只是另一种方式即windirstat显示的解释,您的硬盘驱动器。

When it comes down to it, WinDirStat is a very useful utility for home users and technical types alike.  Considering that this tool will show local, as well as networked hard drive statistics, makes it a handy addition to anyone’s set of software programs.当它归结到它, windirstat是一个非常有用的工具,家庭用户和技术类型,都考虑到,此工具将显示本地,以及网络硬盘驱动器的统计资料,使它成为得心应手,除了任何人的一套软件程序。
