Hi,

I want to clean up my hard disk. How can I have the folder size displayed?
It just displays file size in explore.

Any help will be appreciated!

Lisa

Where do you want to display the file size? You can right click on any file
and select properties to see the file size... and in Windows Explorer in
the Details view... as you noted.

Please explain further what it is you are trying to do.

If you check Status Bar in the View menu, it will display the the total
of all files in the selected folder, but not in sub folders. To find the
total of all files in the folder, including sub-folders, you can open
the command window, change the directory to the desired folder,
then enter: dir /s /a. It will list all files, and at the end give the
total
of all files in the folder and sub-folders, including hidden and system
files.

Hi Lisa,

You may want to try out this free app - FolderSize - from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=127365

If you want information on it before downloading see:
http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/about.html

Once it's installed click on a folder in Explorer.
In the right pane Right click on the column header.
Click "More" at the bottom of the popup list.
Add "Folder Size" by clicking the checkmark selection box and disable "Size" from
showing by clicking the checkmark selection box.
Highlight "Folder Size" by clicking on it.
Use the buttons on the right to move "Folder Size" up or down in the order where you
want it to display.
When finished click Ok.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for your reply. I have a bunch of folders. It's not convenient to
check their properties one by one. I would like to find a way to display all
the folder's size instead of file size. You know Windows Explorer can just
display file size, not folder size.

Thanks again,

Lisa

XP doesn't do this natively. Try Folder Size for Windows 2.4:

I have Winxp Home and if I use Explorer, right click - Properties, it
shows me the total folder size of the open folder and all the
sub folders. My brother's XP Pro does the same thing.

Right click on the column-heading bar (the one with the words "Name,"
"Size") etc. Check the "Folder size" option."

What add-in did you install to provide that feature? Windows XP doesn't
have that natively.
