Bucket Size in Windows

[Lynnea 1941]

Aside from right-clicking on a folder in Windows to look at properties to determine a folder size, is there any way to get the size displayed always?

The bucket system is great, and the size display is so useful for quickly determining when a folder is ready for burning on a a DVD.

After a little Internet searching, I discovered several free downloads to add folder size to Windows Explorer.  So, now I have that display option.

You can also tell from within iView MediaPro.

Hey Lynnea
Would you share with me the link where you got that download?
Thanks

Does it add it directly to the installed Windows Explorer or is it a substitute Explorer application, such as ExplorerXP?

I was just about to ask the same question, and after a quick search I found a few different options. Did anyone have any recommendations on the best choice to this within Windows Explorer?

Folder Size for Windows 2.2 looks pretty good, but before I start installing anything new it would be nice to know what other people are using.

Cheers,

Andrew - I never got a response in this thread,  but in another thread someone pointed me to Folder Size for Windows 2.2 and I started using that.  It does exactly what I want it to do so I'd recommend it.

After reading that thread, I too started using that Folder Size application. Very neat - can't imagine why Microsoft never included it in the first place.
