 Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 6:01 am Post subject: Drive Space, un-detect certain folder/file |
 |
|
| I want the drive space shown in a drive's "Properties" to ignore the space taken up of certain files/folders. Is it possible to do something with the certain folders/files with the script temporarily (when script is ON) so that it doesn't show or any other way? because I don't want to tamper with the system settings or do anything dangerous that would destroy my computer. |

Get the higher level space, and subtract the space taken by the folders you want to exclude...

I do not think AHKSimple's requirement is as simple as that 
For example if "My Documents" folder contains 10 hidden movies aggregating 7 GB and the rest of the files aggregate to 100 MB, the "Folder Properties" of "My Documents" should reveal only 100 MB.
AHKSimple wants a way/script to cheat the "File/Folder Properties" dialog without tampering the System Settings.
Just a wild guess!
Edit: Oh! Read "File/Folder Properties" as "Drive Properties"

| Yes, that's it. I just want to cheat the drive space measure so it doesn't detect/count the selected folders. I don't mind changing settings, I just don't want to damage any system files. |
