Re: View disk capacity on a network share via Windows Explorer

Pardon me, I made a mistake in that posting. I can get the size of the
folder within a share, but I'm looking to get the size of the share itself,
without having to go directly to the server, then to the folder's
properties.

On the win2k system, the capacity would be displayed instantly. Having to
go into a folder's properties, you need to wait for the size to be
calculated, which is time consuming on folders that are really large.

For me, this is a really useful feature in getting a quick view of the share
capacities on our SAN. I'd really like to find out how if possible to
enable it on XP.
