There's always room for dessert. Did you know that there are some pies hidden within Windows? They don't come with whipped cream; they're more functional than they are flavorful. Open up 'My Computer' and select all your drives (hard, floppy, CD, mapped, etc.). Now, right-click on one of them and select 'Properties' from the menu. Up pops a multi-tabbed dialog with 3D pie charts (showing disk space usage) and other drive details. It's not an end-all be-all information provider, but for a quick-and-dirty solution, it works well. This tip sure takes the cake!
