Sensing Drive Space info

Uh,


How does the prog check space dynamically/realtime ? Is it keeping my drive spinning while my 'puter is on at nite, if i leave a drive spc indicator or whatever on my desktop ? I guess I'm too retentive about my drive being over used. thanks for you help. I have to go wash my hands for the 28th time today.

oops.


 I'm using desktop x builder 3.o and the fading drive meter (not sure who wrote the script but it rocks !) anyhow I'm just wondering if this is a static thing that desktop is reading either from xp or from the drive at the last time of access a certain amount was avail last time the drive was used or if this is a realtime dynamic thing where since it displays lets say the amount of space left on the c: drive every 15 sec.  it is sending some kind of request to the drive every 15 sec. and keeping my drive continually up and running the entire time the computer is on.


Sorry if i babbled.


thanks
