Is there a reason you can't use the built-in Windows find tool?  It allows
you to input a date range, which if given a one day range should provide you
with a list of files that you can sort by data/time, and more importantly
size.  This should provide you with a good idea of which file(s) are being
created/modified and using up disk space.

Subject: Server Losing Hard Disk Space

I have a win2k which has been steadily losing disk space for the last few
days at a rate of half a gig a day or more. Can anyone point me in the
direction of a tool that will allow me to see which files have increased in
size between determined intervals? Any help is appreciated...
