Windows XP Vista Style Drive Icons - Download Now

Drive Space Visualization in Windows XP

A convenient feature introduced in Windows Vista was the visual representation of drive space directly within the drive icons. This allowed users to quickly assess disk usage at a glance.

However, upgrading to Vista solely for this functionality isn't necessary. Developers have created a utility for Windows XP that replicates this feature.

Icon Appearance and Functionality

The newly implemented icons closely resemble those found in Windows Vista. The key enhancement is the addition of a bar beneath the icon, providing a concise graphical depiction of current drive space.

This graphical display is visible across most icon sizes, excluding the detailed view.

Low Disk Space Indication

When a drive approaches its storage capacity, the graph will change color to red. This serves as a visual alert, suggesting a reduction in downloads or file storage.

Resource Usage

The utility demonstrates minimal memory consumption, as evidenced by its performance within the Task Manager.

Obtaining Drvicon

You can download Drvicon from Sourceforge.net to implement these drive icons in Windows XP.
