Windows Explorer add-ons for XP to show total folder/subfolder size ?

[- Bobb -]

Any known add-ons for XP to allow me to have a column in Windows Explorer to show me the TOTAL size of the folder/subfolders ?
Currently I'd have to right-click each folder , then do the next, next , next . They have a LOT available but this is not one. Of
all the details available when you right-click on the folder header, this is one that I miss most in Windows. ( I used to have a
few prgs that would show me a folder / size tree back in the days of DOS)
It's very useful when you're trying to find " where's all my disk space being used" - of course you wouldn't want to use it every
day but when needed - very handy.

Since I did not need to register there , I went with the last one:
at http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/

Works Great so far - Although the online demo states -

Known Issues :
"There's currently an issue for some users where the service crashes regularly. "

I'll let you know if I have problems.

Thanks very much
