To search for files and folders by Size, Type and using Advance option
1) search for files by Size at least (1,000,000 KB)
2) search for Folders by Size at least (1,000,000 KB)

I was successful in doing item 1, search found the files that were atleast
a1 gig or more But I was unsuccessful for item 2. I have created folders and
placed individual files in it. The Total folder size is more than 1 gig.
The search could not detect this folder Why?
I tried to change search behavior to standard and advance. Also select the
Type-Folders But of no success. What can I do to search for folders that are
occupying my hard disk space?
I could not Find any form of Help on this matter.
Many Many Thanks
Shawn
