file size??

is there anyway i can show the file size of a folder. for example i have the view "details" selected and it will show the file size of everything (exe, zip,doc,txt etc) but for a folder there is nothing under the size column, yet if u right click the folder and choose properties it will tell u the size along with how many files and folders are in it. so is there a way to make it show the size under the size column?

I don't think so, because it would be very slow for it to calculate the size of the contents every folder you are looking at.

ya good point

to do this I do a right click on the folder and look at Properties. Sometimes it takes a moment to add it up, but it works for me. Hope that helps you.:cool:

Go to My Computer>Tools>Folder Options and check "Display file size information in folder tips". Then when you hover the cursor over a folder it will display size.

david, thank u but i knew about that, was tryijg to avoid the extra click =) and super sparks i dont get a tooltip, but i believe that is because i disabled tooltips in explorer using x-teq but i didnt know that, thank u
