   Probably can just enter "windir".  Seems you use WinDirStat so rarely   
   that you cannot remember its name, so I wonder why you keep it.   
      
   I use WizTree (and TreeSize Free before that).  Has the same bubble   
   (treemap) display showing sizes that you see in WinDirStat.  Actually   
   that code is FOSS, lots of tools can have bubble map.  It adds an entry   
   in File Explorer's context menu.  I use WizTree via File Explorer   
   instead of starting WizTree from the Start menu whereupon I would have   
   to navigate it to where I want to find sizes.  When I'm checking sizes   
   of folders, I'm already in File Explorer.   
      
   WinDirStat doesn't add an entry to File Explorer's context menu?
