Missing "Size" detail col in Computer & Win Explorer windows

[BMW]

Recently, when I opened Computer/Windows Explorer, the Size column was no
longer visible, then when I went to the Details List to reselect it, it's not
listed as an option. Size is a default detail, so I'm quite confused.
Any ideas on how to restore it?
Something to look for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex ?

I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1, all updates current.
Thanks.

Open that folder, and rightclick the column header that says "Name". You get
a menu with 'Size' to check. If not, the Properties of the folder have a
"Customize" tab to change the type of data displayed in that folder. You
probably want "Documents"

Nah, that's the problem. Size is not listed on the right-click menu, nor is
it listed when I click More and open the Choose Details dialog box.
Size is missing in both the All Items and Documents templates, doesn't
matter which one I choose.

I am having the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?

Hey guys, I found the solution for this!
It's something related to the Windows Seach 4.0 update. Remove this update
and the problem is gone!

Bye!!
