Does anyone know of an app that can sort the folders in a windows system by size? I want to find out which folders have the most junk in them. Thanks.
TreeSize Free is nice but I use professional to monitor file servers.

If you were using Unix or Linux, you could just use the 'du' command. If you wanted to get fancy you could do something like this...
du -k | sort -nr | more
This would show the disk usage of each subdirectory, sort it numerically for you in reverse order (i.e., large directories first), and then display the results a page at a time. If you wanted just the top 10 biggest directories...
du -k | sort -nr | head -10
Yeah, there will be weenies out there who will say, "but that's so hard". At least it's possible. There are also graphical tools to do essentially the same thing like "agedu", "gdmap", or "ncdu" among others.
Advanced System Care has a Disk Explorer module that will list the largest 100 files on your system
