Displaying Folder Sizes in Details View

[kmf]

Just like the title says, is there any type of registry hack that will display the sizes of the folders when Details is selected?

None I've heard of - some 3rd party tools exist for the same, though...)

This "might" help to remedy the issue - http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_desc...C15304%2C00.asp

That is not really what I am looking for, thanks anyways though.

I went here.

http://www.codeproject.com/shell/DirectorySize.asp

I dowloaded the the demo project and used the directions for that and it seemed like it installed correctly but it did not work.

I do not know how to use the larger file.

The larger files need compiled. All you need to do is download the dll (demo project) and register the dll and it should work.

After testing it myself, it works just fine. Download the zipped dll file and then move it to c:\windows\system32 (good safe spot for ya to keep it). Then register it with this command:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\DirSize.dll

Then you just need to right click on the tabs bar and enable the folder size view.

Then you just need to right click on the tabs bar and enable the folder size view.

What do you mean exactly by that?

Please phrase it in moron so I can understand it.

Thanks.

See where the tabs labelled Folder, File Size, File name, etc.. are? That's the part you need to right click on. It's in the picture on that page that you linked even.

I did everything right and it did not work.

I tried it again and it worked this time. Thanks.

[kmf]

It would be nice if it would display all the sizes in just one column though.

I got the DirSize.dll to work but it always displays in bytes... short of learning to modify the source code, does anyone know how to fix this?
