- WHAT IS DISKSTATE?
- __________________________________________________________________
-
- This program reports the current state of your disks:
- Total MegaBytes, GigaBytes, the amount of space used and free,
- and the useable swap space (or memory usage). Furthermore, one
- can browse through the folder structure with an intuitive pie
- chart showing relative folder space used.
-
- DiskState can also eliminate space wasted after program crashes
- or by temporary files no longer needed.
-
- The Duplicate Finder of DiskState uses e.g. a powerful 128-bit
- MD5 technology to track down redundant files. Even if the file
- names are different, DiskState identifies duplicates by content
- and displays duplicates in a comprehensive list.
-
- Got a lot of MP3s, image files and other multimedia duplicates?
- Then DiskState can help you with an easy-to-use wizard to
- remove those hogging duplicate multimedia files!
-
- Next, DiskState can capture the state of all files recursively
- in a folder tree. This enables the user to compare old states
- with newly captured ones. Ideally for detecting changes in
- files, deleted and added files in a given folder structure.
-
- Reports can be generated to find e.g. the oldest files, zip
- files etc. on a disk volume. The whole report generator is
- user-customizable. Adding new reports is simple.
-
- DiskState provides a deletion engine for scheduling cleanups
- regularly.
-
- A cool tool to extract boot blocks in a multi-boot environment.
- This is useful if e.g. Windows Me installer or Windows 2000
- boot menu has erased your Linux Lilo boot block. Add e.g.
- Linux, BeOS, OS/2 and over 200 known boot blocks to your
- Windows NT or 2000 boot menu.
-
- DiskState has various cleanup tools. One example is the
- "Cover Your Tracks" to remove traces you leave after surfing
- the web. The includes a nifty Cookie Manager: Remove cookies
- selectively using sub-string matches, all-at-once or by manual
- selections.
-
- All in all, this is a small but powerful tool to analyze and
- tidy your computer in a nice safe way.
