Keeping track of space used on your hard disk is very important. Sometimes if you are downloading a large file and you run out of disk space you can have a serious problem.

Windows can show you how much space is used and how much is free by first opening the My Computer icon, selecting the drive you wish to see and selecting PROPERTIES for that drive.

If you have more than one hard disk (or you have partioned you hard disk into more than one volume) you can select several drives at once and view their properties but you have to select each drives TAB individually on the properties screen

Windows does not give you an easy way to monitor all your available drive space in real time as you work. However True Launch Bar does with the DRIVE SPACE plugin.

After installing the True Launch Bar Drive Space plugin you can select several options that allow you to see the space available on your drives in many different ways.

After setting the various options you will than be able to see the Drive Space icon on the True Launch Bar which will tell you in real time how much space you have available on all your drives.

Try several different settings on the Drive Space properties to see which style you prefer.
Please read the True Launch Bar FAQ (Frequently asked questions)

Is it possible to include a "Space left"-indication (in numbers) in the next(?) version. Could be useful to quickly review the remaining hd-space in Mb's (e.g. for large downloads etc..)

The Show Free Space (in the properties dialog) is the Space left.
