anyone remember the name of this program?

There was a program like 5-10 years ago,
it was basically a standalone windows explorer addon or replacement.
what made it unique from M$ explorer is that it displayed folders and files by representing their icons with a color indicative of their size.
a red folder/file being extremely large, a green file/folder being small, you get the idea. i think it also had a progress bar looking thing next to each folder/file to represent the size of its content as well..
i really need a program like this again.
the new 87b's with its 10 dvds put me over the top in the space department. and as im running a raid 0 , upgrading would be expensive. i simply want to be able to easily weed out large folders and files that i may not be using anymore ,and this was the best tool i could remeber to accomplish that.

try spacemonger.  Its not exactly like you requested, but its a graphical representation of all your folders.. neat, fast, very small (no need to evem install, just extract and run the exe).

its a good one isent it!! Just wondering if you have the same problem I do though.  Occassionally when I delete a particularly large directory I get an error (files actually delete though) and I have to restart the thing.  Its not a huge deal, but if your using it on a machine with alot of little files it can take a minute or two to scan the whole hd...
