How do I display folder contents?
Trying to show the number of files in a folder without having to count them…
I don’t recall how I did it on my other XP box would like to have the option
in my new XP box…
Thanks in advance,
B
 
Hi, Bob.

One quick way is to open the folder, then press Ctrl+A to "Select All".
Then the Status Bar should tell you the number of "objects" selected. If
you don't have the Status Bar turned on, then click View and check Status
Bar.

Hi Bob,

Manual Edit

Go to Windows Explorer/View/Status Bar. Then go to Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to all folders. Works for IE as well.

Automated Edit

Enable Show Status Bar (Line 67)
