Does anyone know how you can show the folder size while
using Windows Explorer? What I mean is that if you open
my documents and all the folders sizes listed are blank.
Only the files sizes are listed. Is there a registry key
to change so that the folder size will display also?
I know I could just right click and chose properites.
One less step is what i'm looking for
Thanks
Norm

No, no registry key. It would take forever to display a folder window.

However you can hover over a folder and windows will calculate the folder size and display it in a tooltip.

You'll get an idea why it's a BAD idea to list folder sizes as you wait for it to be calculated, remembering all folders would have to be done before displaying the folder.
