DiskMapper displays PC hard disk contents as a series of nested, color-coded 2D boxes, whereby each box represents a directory, subdirectory, or file (see screenshot). The program can map any physical or logical drive, including those on a network server, and is a useful tool for determining what's stored where, and what's hogging all your disk space. By default, DiskMapper color-codes directories and files based on their levels in the directory tree, but you can also configure it to color the boxes based on a file's or directory's age, extension, archive bit, or protection status (read-only or hidden, for example), or on whether it has been changed since its creation. There are 23 supplied color schemes, and you can make your own. DiskMapper can also zip, unzip, launch, and delete files, so that you can use the program to clean out unwanted material. The program costs $49.95, and can be purchased online.
