Navigation: click on the boxes to drill down into more detail, or use the arrow buttons in the toolbar, browser style. Also size and date extension “1mb <3months” will show JPEG’s that are larger than 1 meg dated within the last 3 months. 
For example “*.zip, *.mp3” will only display zip and mp3 files only, while, say “*black*” will only display elements with the word “black” in the file/folder names. Filters: you can use multiple filters separated by commas.
The two blue buttons on the toolbar control whether you would like more or less detail overall, while the green “star” toggles the display of the available free space.
The interface: is quite pleasant to work with simple, yet effective. The difference between this aforementioned program and SpaceSniffer is that the former is focused on presenting lists of the largest-size files and folders and comparing using bars and charts (which is extremely useful) SpaceSniffer, on the other hand, uses a different approach entirely that is much more holistic and conducive to discovering files and folders on your drives that you didn’t realize occupied the space that they actually do. How do you do this? I’ve written about a number of programs that represent file and folder sizes, one of my favorites being Free Disk Usage Analyzer. How do you free up space on your hard drive? Assuming that you’ve cleaned your drives from all accumulated junk files (using a program such as CCleaner for example), the next step is to figure out which files/folders are taking up the space in the first place, and after that to make decisions as to whether or not you can afford to get rid of some of the offenders. It also allows you to access your Windows context menu for on-the-spot file/folder manipulation. It allows you to browse your folder structure, drill in and out of represented elements, and filter the display by any combination of criteria (filenames, extensions, size, date). SpaceSniffer is a free program that displays the size of your files and folders in a visual “Treemap” representation.
