Program will display Folder and sub-Folder Size

Hi

If it does, I don't know how to make it work.

For example, if I have a folder name FIRST and if it has sub-folders named
TWO, THREE and FOUR directly under it and if each of these sub-folders has
both files and sub-folders under them, I can not select FIRSTin the Folders
column and have it tell me the the total size of FIRST and all of its
sub-folders in the Status Bar.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Left Click on 'First' in the left pane from within windows explorer so it is
highlighted in blue. Then click on FILE from the command tools, select
PROPERTIES from the menu. It will display the overall size of 'First' and the
number of subfolders and files.

Or for a more powerfull tool open a command prompt and type "diruse /?"
(install W2K3 resource kit tools first) It will explain on how to use the
command to retrieve the information your looking for, easiest use is the
command followed by /s /m and the path.

I just downloaded a utility called FolderSize-2.4 to use on my workstation.
It addess an extra field (after you right click the column bar and enable
Field Size) to your Windows Explorer window. I may give you a bit more detail.

I HAVE NOT TESTED IT ON WINDOWS SERVER.

You can do a search for FolderSize-2.4.msi and you should get a link for
download3k.com.

Hi TRSib

Thanks for the update. I shall try it on my Win XP Pro, SP-3, desktop for a
while. If there aren't any problems, I shall create a mirror of our main Win
Server 2003 in VMWare, and then test it extensively. Again, thanks for
bringing this program to my attention.

I shall post feedback here after each test. I expect that the first post
should be in approx 1 month.
