If you're of the command-line persuasion... Get the Unix utilities from <http://unxutils.sf.net>. Put them in PATH. Rename FIND.EXE to GFIND.EXE so it won't conflict with the Microsoft FIND.EXE utility. Open a command prompt. Change to the top-level directory you want to total. Run the command: gfind -mtime +1095 -a -mtime -1460 -a -print0 | xargs -0 du | gawk "{ sum += $1 }; END { print sum }" The above will find files modified three years ago from today's date. The two numeric arguments are the number of days ago the file was modified, from today's date. Adjust as needed. The result will be given in bytes. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
