Drive Panel

Top  Previous  Next

The Drive Panel options window offers you very granular control over which types of drives are displayed in the docking Drive Space panel (which is displayed in the lower left by default).

 

Drive Types

 

Fixed drives - These include local hard drives. Recommended.
Removable drives - Usually consists of thumb drives, etc.
CDROM drives - CDROM, CDRW, DVD, etc.
Remote (network) drives - Includes any mapped network drives. Note that this can slow application performance slightly on slower networks (and is therefore not recommended for use within a wireless network environment).
RAM disk drives - Any type of memory-based drive.
Unknown drive types - Anything else not otherwise categorized. Not recommended.

 

Other Options

 

Ignore these drive letters - Allows for specification of drives that should not be included (floppy drives, for example) in the drive space panel. Separate multiple drive letters with semi-colons.
Automatically refresh every X seconds - Specifies how frequently the drive space panel should automatically refresh itself.
Ignore drives of indeterminate size - When this switch is engaged, FolderSizes will ignore any drive that it cannot successfully query for size information.
