a batch script involving find would work but you'd have to loop over each returned file to get the sizes which will probably take ages to run

maybe you can try treesize from jamsoftware. it is targetted at providing directory sizes but also features a full files listing which you can sort by size

alternatively in you can do the same in the windows explorer : search *.* in you C drive and sort the results by size, but that's going to be loooong
