The filename in the usage examples is incorrect. The script is named 'disk_visualizer.py' but the examples reference 'vis.py'.

Suggested change

	python vis.py
	# Analyze a specific path
	python vis.py D:\Projects # Windows
	python vis.py /home/user/docs # Linux/macOS
	# Show top 20 largest folders
	python vis.py . -n 20
	python disk_visualizer.py
	# Analyze a specific path
	python disk_visualizer.py D:\Projects # Windows
	python disk_visualizer.py /home/user/docs # Linux/macOS
	# Show top 20 largest folders
	python disk_visualizer.py . -n 20

Remove extra spaces before 'A Python Script'. There should be a single space after the pipe character for consistency with other entries.
