Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Warnings
Displays wrong entries in red, e.g. paths that do no longer exist.
Pro Easy
Editing of Windows environment variables is easy, splits long lines.
Pro Resolve variables values, make easy a refactoring of PATH by extracting different elements in their own new variable
Pro Convert variables between verbatim and expandable
Windows supports referencing variables within variables, but only if they're marked in the registry as expandable, and conversion between the two types is exposed in the context menu for each variable.
Pro Exceptionally fast for NTFS drives
Because it reads the master file table (MFT) directly from NTFS file system.
Pro Free
There is no limitation to using it.
Pro Multiple view such as tree view, tree map, extension view, file view
Unlike other similar apps, which usually only offer single view, this app offers multiple views.
Pro Handles "hard linked" files correctly - doesn't count them more than once
WizTree is faster and much more accurate than all the others as it properly handles hard linked files (doesn't count them more than once) so the total allocated size reported by WizTree will actually match the space used on the drive as reported by Windows.
Cons
Con Simple
Some may not consider it a "power" user tool.
Con Intended for NTFS only
It'll work with any other file system but with the same speed as any generic space analyzer.
