Re: Size of individual folders contents...

Hello,

Thanks for the reply...this was already checked...and yes I can see the size
of the folder...but I would like to be able to see the size of the folder in
the explorer window without having to put my mouse pointer over the
folder...just like regular files. With regular files I can click on the
"Name" Tab (to re-arrange alphabetically), "Size" Tab (to re-arrange from
smaller sized files to larger sized files or reverse), "Type" Tab (arrange
the files by type), and "Date Modified" Tab(When the file was last changed
in date order). I would like to also be able to do this with folders
especially re-arrange by "Size".

Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks to all who reply,

Ismael
