Read carefully the original post, i know how to add/remove columns in
Detailed View. I'll explain what i am attempting to get in a very detailed
way ( i've been playing with a PC mouse since i was 3yrs old, please don't
consider me as a "n00b" ) :::
Do This ! -> Open a FOLDER ( i'll call this one F1 ), any, create one on
your desktop or whatever, and then IN >F1< folder, create an OTHER FOLDER
( Called F2 ), so you should get something like this
%f1LOCATIONPATH%\F1\F2 <<< OKAY ? Got it ? Easy hey !
Now in F1 CREATE a NON-folder item, ie: RightC>New>Bitmap Image, you
should now have, in F1 !, 2 items, FOLDER F2 and New Bitmap Image.
After these steps, RightC>VIEW>TILES !, you should now have a Tiles view
of F2 and New Bitmap Image, now LOOK at that bmp file, UNDER the FILE
NAME ( New Bitmap Image ) you should see INFORMATIONS ABOUT THAT FILE (
if .bmp file, "Bitmap Image" gray-ish color )
AND NOW -LOOK- at F2, you should ONLY see the file name.
OKAY now this is the REALLY EXTREMLY UBER COMPLICATED NO-ONE-UNDERSTANDS
THING ::: See that gray info under the bmp file name ? well i want info
about FOLDERS to be shown like that ! got it ??? =D i hope !
And 2nd -(you got mixed up on this), switch to DETAILS VIEW, you should
see a few colums, usually Name, Size, Type and Date Modified. I know when
can add columns in that view, but i want one that shows SIZE of FOLDERS (
new column or modded Size column ) and a CUSTOM File Count column for
FOLDER CONTENT COUNT. < These aren't shown when RightC'ing on the colums
! i want to CREATE them !
Okay and last of all, you see that gray 1cm bar at the bottom of the
window ? ( if not, View>Status Bar ), well click on the bmp file, it
should show information about the file ( usually Type and Size ).
Now click on the Folder, and it should show "1 Object Selected".
I want the information that is given for the bmp file to be given for the
FOLDER also ! ( instead of type, it could show the file count, cuz whe all
know what filetype is a folder don't whe ?
)... THATS ABOUT IT
Now if you didn't understand this, i very sorry for you :C
BTW1: when i write in UPPERCASE, it doesn't mean in screaming, it is just
to highlight words, so don't feel attacked by my post.
BTW2: What is MVP ? Microsoft V...... Person ? Microsoft Verified Personel
????
THANKS!

Hey people i have a question, i want to get more info when im browsing
my hard drive, especially when wanting to see how much files and how
big a folder is,
[details]
like adding a column in "Details" View, printing the info in the Status
Bar, or even better, getting the info like whe see it when viewing a
non-folder item ( *.rar, *.exe, ... ) in "Tiles" View ( under folder
name, grayed-out, usually filetype and size/dimensions ( dim [x.y] when
it's a pic ).
I would prefer to tweak this with the RegEdit-or, but avoiding
background running apps (services) or even programs that set it; A
Do-It-Yourself thing 'ya see ;D.
It would be really cool if someone could explain/tell me how/if this is
possible and how to do it.
[/details]
THANKS !
