Units used in folders (detail view). Show as MB possible?

Is there any way to change the units used in folder (detail view)
to show MB instead of KB? KB's are fine up to 999, but then I
would like to see sizes shown in MB.

TIA
 
I'm asking because I just installed a dirsize.dll from
<http://www.codeproject.com/shell/DirectorySize.asp> that shows
the size of each folder in detail view. I never noticed that
the file sizes were in KB's before. Obviously, folders are MUCH
larger and you end up with 9-10 digit numbers for folder sizes.
Some programs allow you the prefrence to show KB's or MB's as
dictated by the size. I thought maybe a registry entry may be
available.

Wow, new request for me. :o)

Similar plugin from MVP Mark Dormer should accomplish what you wanted.
http://markd.mvps.org/home.asp

* Unregister the existing dirsize.dll plugin.
* Download the dll from the above site, and register it.
* Set the folder to detail view, and select the "Folder size" column

Note: Press CTRL and + keys together to auto-size the column width. Optionally, you can apply the settings to all the folders using "Apply to all folders" using the Folder Options dialog.

Thank you. I thought I was being too much of a control freak.
Works like a charm now.
