windows explorer in windows xp home edition

[Guest]

Okay, I have a simple question about windows explorer in windows xp home
edition. When I used to use windows 98, information about how many objects
were in a particular directory along with the amount of space that was taken
up by those objects were displayed at the bottom of the windows explorer
window (ie: 12 objects taking up 1.38MB). In windows xp, none of this
information is displayed. Is there a way to make the object count and amount
of disk space being used by those objects appear at the bottom of the
explorer window in windows xp home edition?

Hi Edward,

Manual Edit

Go to Windows Explorer/View/Status Bar. Then go to Tools/Folder
Options/View/Apply to all folders. Works for IE as well.

Automated Edit

Enable Show Status Bar (Line 67)
