How Directory Properties Windows Works

Hell oAll

Does any one have any idea how Directory properties windows Works internally
?

basically i am curious how does it calculates file count and Total size of a
directory when we right click and view the property.

it seems to be very fast as comapred to the traditional programming API
FindFirstFile, FindNextFile. Does it refer any central table like MFT or
something else and calculate from it ?

Thanks
Sachin
