Very interesting...It seems that the code you rode
also caches in the os. The first time I run on a large
folder I get 150 secs, the next time I get 1.97 secs.
Splain that.

Yes, I know. In fact that's what I said when I posted the code. It behaves in that way for exactly the same reason that the OS itself behaves in that way, probably because of normal disk caching but also possibly to do with extra caching that the OS might be performing. I'm fairly sure that the OS checks the total folder size in pretty much the same way as the VB code is doing, and probably using the very same API routines.
