Windows

diruse.exe

Standard installation of Windows XP has no software to measure disk usage. It would be better for you to install a program that measures disk usage separately. It is called diruse.exe and contained in the Windows XP Service Pack 2 support tool (WindowsXP-KB838079-SupportTools-ENU.exe) that can be obtained from the Microsoft's download center.

Without diruse.exe, tkDerm works perfectly except for the volume usage progress bar. As for volume, please refer to Chapter 7 ( page).
