In Windows Explorer the size of the files are shown but never the size of the
folders. Is this possible? Its tiring to have to Right click/Properties or hold the
mouse over the folder everytime I need to know the size.
 
According to http://www.toejumper.net/speed5/winex5.htm then "WinEx doesn't like to show folder sizes, although it will show individual file sizes. This can be annoying. There are two ways to force Explorer to own up. One is to right-click on the folder and select Properties from the drop-down next to "Size," or put the mouse pointer over the folder and wait for a tool tip to appear and magically give you the folder size. Remember, subfolders' sizes are counted in a folder's size. If you want a better option, you need to use something like Space Dolphin's free Folder Size Shell Extension 3.2, available from space.dolphin.free.fr/Windows/dfolder.html. This software lists the size of the folder next to the folder name. It works with Windows 9x and is partially supported with Windows 2k/XP." I havent tried this out tho so cant vouch for it.
