DirGetSize() problem

[Valuater]

This little script seems to take forever on some computers.

$size = DirGetSize(@HomeDrive)
Msgbox(0,"","Size(MegaBytes):" & Round($size / 1024 / 1024))

What my desire is, to clean a computer then calculate the amount of room recovered on the hard drive when completed. So, I use this twice which takes twice as long.

Maybe there is a faster way.... check free space... or... ???

Thx

Thats ok, ..... I got it

Two as a mater of fact.

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:")
$objLogicalDisk = $objWMIService.Get("Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID='C:'")
MsgBox(0, 0, Round($objLogicalDisk.FreeSpace / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2) & " Gig   ")


$fso = ObjCreate("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
$d = $fso.GetDrive(@HomeDrive)
MsgBox(0, 0, Round($d.FreeSpace / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2) & " Gig   ")

Interesting. It's beyond me, but something did occur to me. If the data removed was much smaller than the amount of data remaining on the drive, then adding up the amount of removed data might be faster than re-examining the whole drive. If that makes any sense. I have no idea.
