InTheWayBoy Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Since it's not a built-in function yet, you'll need a third party application to handle that...I found this with a quick google:http://forums.techguy.org/archive/t-386207.htmlSounds like it's what you want...good luck!

InTheWayBoy Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Glad to help...I hope you didn't take it as being rude, I just like people to know how easy it is to find things sometimes. On the flip-side, certain search keywords can be a real pain, so I usually don't bother being childish about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRosenfeld Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 You might find this one works better:http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 vcBlackBox i did not take any offence in what you said i did do a search but only found apps which i did not really want for such what i would assume is such a simple thing, thanks again for the effort.One thing tho when i said "no size sorting issues" it turns out its not 100% true it seems it does not take kb, mb & gb in to account it just sorts the folders out by highest umber first for example it would be912kb240mbrather the other way around do you have any clue how i can edit the field to attempt to fix this issue cheers.

JRosenfeld Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 That's why I posted the link to sourceforge, try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks JRosenfeld but i was typing my message while you posted yours and did not see your second post until i had finished writing my one up. As i said tho i don't want to install a application however small just to display the size of the folders i think i will stick with InTheWayBoy's recommendation after its only a little problem and to be honest i hardly have any folder that are less the 1Mb in size so the problem i mentioned will not really affect me that much. Either way thanks for the recommendation i will bookmark your recommendation for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logoterm Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Is anyone aware of a way to create a column in explorer details view which will display the size of folders? cheers.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm using View Folder Size Pro. It will add new folder size columns to Explorer (as numeric value and percent bar). Also you can easy customize this columns, sort by size. And this is fastest "folder size" add-on I have ever seen.
