  Hi all,

  In Windows 2000, when you clicked on a logical drive in explorer, you would see the files under that drive in the right pane, but you would also see a chart of how much used/free space there is on that drive. In Windows 2003, this chart is only visible in the Properties window of the drive. Is there a way to change that to look like the 2000 explorer?

  Hi SSC-Addicted,

  This will still show the percentage free/used but not in a kind of chart view.

  For the chart view, there's no other way other than choosing properties of that drive.

  For a percentage view, ensure all drives are showing on to the right of Explorer Window, then perform 3 actions in Explorer:

  1. Click View > Details

  2. Click View > Arrange Icons by > Free Space

  3. Click View > Arrange Icons by > Show In Groups

  This is the closest you can get with Windows 2003. 🙂

  I hope this helps you out,

  Chris M.
