Desktop gadgets eliminate the need to run certain tools or visit websites each time you need to see your processor usage or the weather forecast. Windows doesn't come with any gadgets for disk space usage, but you can make up for this gap with DriveInfo. It displays the used space for local and removable drives directly on your desktop, just like other Windows gadgets. In addition, the application provides a few useful options and shortcuts, which should make your work easier.

DriveInfo is absolutely free and it can be used on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8. It comes in a small package, which can be downloaded in a few seconds. Installing the application can be done just as fast, without any difficulties. You don't have to sacrifice too much disk space or meet any special requirements to run this lightweight application.

When launched, the application will display a series of graphical representations of local and removable drives, which can be moved together anywhere on the screen. Besides their free and total space, all drives are displayed with colored bars, which represent their usage percentages. If you insert a new memory device, like a CD or a USB drive, the application will detect it automatically and it will add it among the other drives, with the same statistics.

DriveInfo provides a series of useful shortcuts as well. Clicking a listed drive will open it instantly, in Windows Explorer. Also, you may click a series of small icons, located around the interface, to open a command prompt, the task manager, to lock the computer or schedule an automatic shutdown and more. The application's general settings panel presents a few useful options as well. Besides selecting different themes for the user interface or making other visual adjustments, you can also create a virtual drive, manage startup programs, lock files and change drive letters and folder icons.

Pros

DriveInfo is lightweight and easy to use. It provides space usage for all local, removable or virtual drives. The application also provides shortcuts for various Windows features.

Cons

There are no serious drawbacks to mention. With DriveInfo on your desktop, you will always know how much free space you have on your hard drive and you will be able to access important Windows features on the fly.
