# This script will find the 10 (default) largest files and then list the
# folders sizes of the c:\ drive (default). The results will be written to a
# formatted text file. At the end of the script is an option to scan and list
# the size of all sub folders within a particular folder, output will be 
# appended to the txt file generated during the initial scan.
