View disk capacity on a network share via Windows Explorer



Hi there,

I've been trying to find a useful feature that I used on my Windows 2000 Pro
pc, on my new XP Pro pc.

On a Win2k Pro ( as well as on a 2000 Server) system, when browsing to a
network share, ie., \\computername\foldername, Windows Explorer would
display capacity information about the share. ie., Capacity: 60 GB, Used:
30GB Free: 30Gb, along with a pie chart to visually display the capacity.

I've been poking around on Windows XP as well as on a Win2k3 server and
haven't been able to find this feature.

Is there anyway of enabling this view?

Thanks,

Shannon
