Is the somehow I can get a listing of how large folders are?

Example:

I have an upper level folder that shows - via properties - that it
contains a total of 30 gig.

I have 90 subfolders - is there any to tell which folder of the 90 is
the largest WITHOUT rightclick - properties for each individual
subfolder - that would be a total of 90 rightclick operations,
something I really don't relish doing

Thanks

Get this little utility DirSize.dll.exe from here:
http://markd.mvps.org/

It will display the folder size.

Most things in Windows are customisable, you'll know the right click
gets you a menu of options. Why would this be any different? In file
explorer's
right pane right click in the headers for the information already presented.
There are loads of choices of things you can display- choose the ones you
want.

My friend recommended me ViewFolderSize Pro.
http://www.moveax.com/

He searched for software that shows folder size extension both on
Windows 2k/XP and WinXP x64. I likes View Folder Size Pro more because
it faster and more customizable than other solutions. And there is no
tray icons (only a button on Explorer toolbar if you wish) ;)
