kmf Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Just like the title says, is there any type of registry hack that will display the sizes of the folders when Details is selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 None I've heard of - some 3rd party tools exist for the same, though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmf Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 That is not really what I am looking for, thanks anyways though.I went here.http://www.codeproject.com/shell/DirectorySize.aspI 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.

newdles Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 The larger files need compiled. All you need to do is download the dll (demo project) and register the dll and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdles Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 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.dllThen you just need to right click on the tabs bar and enable the folder size view.

newdles Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmf Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 I did everything right and it did not work.I tried it again and it worked this time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmf Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 It would be nice if it would display all the sizes in just one column though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeebum Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
