- Welcome to More Space 95 for Windows 95! This popular shareware
- utility was written to help you clean up your hard disk. It does
- this by identifying file duplicates, large files, old files
- and obsolete files.
-
- NEW FEATURES IN 2.8 -
-
- ** You can now clean out the internet cache folders based on the
- access dates of the files in the cache.
-
- ** Instead of sending files to the recycle bin or simply deleting
- them you can compress them into zip files over the network or
- onto a different disk. The files are named such that it is easy
- to recover the deleted files from the zip files automatically.
-
- ** More Space is intelligent about giving you advice on which files
- you should and which files should not be deleted. It works by
- scanning the registry for references to folders and if a file
- is in a folder on the list you will be advised NOT to delete
- the particular file.
-
- If you don't want More Space 95, it comes with an uninstall option
- which will clean itself off your hard disk.
-
- Duplicates can be identified by several different criteria:
-
- 1) Name only
- 2) Name and size
- 3) Name, size and modified date/time
- 4) Size only
- 5) Size and modified date/time
- 6) Size and type
- 7) Type and modified date/time
-
- Once the duplicates are identified you can view each pair of duplicates
- on a split screen comparing dates, times, attributes, sizes and even
- the file contents. The differences are color highlighted between file
- pairs giving you an easy way to determine which file you need to keep.
- Many DLL and EXE files contain extra version information normally not
- visible. This extra information is also displayed in the file pair
- display.
-
- Large files (or file hogs) are identified by size with the largest files
- appearing at the top of the list. You can also identify zero length
- files.
-
- Old obsolete files are identified by access date, creation date and
- modification date. You can view all files that were accessed today.
- You can view all files that are more than 3 years old.
-
- Large obsolete folders are also displayed as each folder and all sub-folders
- and files are totalled under each main folder.
-
- You can quickly clean up your hard disk searching for particular types of
- file extensions such as TMP, $$$, OLD, BAK.
-
- The file/disk statistics are very powerful in that they can total up the
- cumulative file sizes, file ages, file types and usage times of each
- file on the hard disk. All graphs are very easy to read and in 3D. You
- can zoom in any graph simply by dragging the mouse from the upper left
- to the lower right area of the area in view. The time statistic can be
- interesting particularly if you work with a specific set of file types
- on a daily basis. For example if you work with *.DOC and *.XLS files
- everyday you can include only these file types during statistic collection
- and you will be rewarded with a 24 hour chart that lists the peak times
- of activity during the day.
-
- Sometimes it is nice to be able to 'peek' inside of a program file ... i.e. you
- want to view the english strings inside which may reveal copyright information,
- author information, error messages and such. More Space allows you to PEEK
- inside a file while browsing. Generally most information inside of
- program files such as EXE or DLL files looks like heiroglyphics. The peek
- function will get past the heiroglyphics and get you to english language
- strings. This can be very informative as oftentimes software vendors will
- include some very revealing information such as the names of the programmers
- involved in the project or some nasty error messages.
-
- More Space 95 is available as shareware. The registered version allows you
- to search for duplicates and search for files over multiple mapped drives.
- An order form is included in the program.
