How do I see the size of a folder in Windows XP? In Windows Expolorer there's a column for size. It shows the size of each file, but for folder's it's just blank. That's really annoying because today I was trying to copy 10GB of folders to 2GB USB thumb drives. Is there a way to make Windows Explorer show the size of each folder? I know a real file manager like Directory Opus can do it but I was on a work computer where I'm not allowed to install software.

Right click on the folder and select "Properties" for the menu. The window that appears will display the size, number of files (and sub-folders) etc within the folder. Because the information for a folder is very different then the information for a file, it can be displayed as a single number in the "size" column.

Windows Explorer by it's self can't display the folder size, but with this program installed, you will see the folder size.

the place did you examine that? My Vista has 6.a million GB of documents in the homestead windows folder. And once you attempt to liberate area to get your workstation to run swifter, it does not do something. you have have been given to purchase workstation areas and improve your workstation. i does not touch the homestead windows folder. it quite is hazardous territory in case you do not understand what you're doing. i could advise getting a 2d puzzling force if it quite is that undesirable.
