This may be listed somewhere else but I have a question of how windows xp
looks at file size. example - Let me have you create the same thing I am
looking at for a better understanding. On your desktop create a new text
document. open the document and write 1. save and close right click and do
properties. You should see that the file is 2 bytes if you added a space and
1 bytes if you did not. Now create a new folder and cut and paste your text
file into the folder. inside the folder it shows the size as 1 KB. Just
wondering if there is a reason that Microsoft could not put the correct file
size. This is a discussion with a friend about linux, windows. I use Windows
he uses linux and finds everything he can even very small things I know.
Thanks in Advance!!!
