Balloon tips with folder contents info

I used to be able to hold my mouse over a folder and a balloon would pop with
the size of contents and number of files. I think I shut this function off
just can't remember how. Looked in TweakUI but couldn't see anything.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Danny,

Click Start, Run and type CONTROL FOLDERS
In the View tab, enable these two options:

[] Display file size information in folder tips
[] Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items

Click Apply, OK.

Thanks Ramesh,
Hard to remember where all these little switches are. I had
Display file size info still checked but the
Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items
was unchecked.

Now I know. Thanks again.
