Rainmeter skin that shows drive usage

; HOWTO: Adding more disks
; ----------------------------------
; Adding more disks is a pretty straightforward process. Follow the following steps to turn
; this 2 disks skin into a 3 disks skin. You can then extend it even further as you wish.
;
; 1) Create a new variable called disk3=X: directly below disk2=D: in the [Variables] section
; 2) Create a copy of the [measureTotalDisk2] and [measureUsedDisk2] sections
; 3) Rename the copied sections to [measureTotalDisk3] and [measureUsedDisk3], respectively.
; Also change Drive=#disk2# to Drive=#disk3#
; 4) Create a copy of the [meterLabelDisk2], [meterValueDisk2], and [meterBarDisk2].
; Rename all Disk2's in the copied sections to Disk3.
; 5) Now we need to change the Y= values to adjust height. Change Y= under [meterLabelDisk3]
; to Y=80 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterLabel).
; Then change Y= under [meterBarDisk3] to Y=92 (calculated by adding 20 to the Y= value of previous meterBar).
; 6) Save the file as '3 Disks.ini'. Now right-click on the Rainmeter tray icon and select
; 'Refresh All'. Now go activate the '3 Disks.ini' skin and enjoy! :)
