Default Folder size in Explorer

Try PowerDesk, it has the capability to do what you are looking for.
And they have a free version. Just look up PowerDesk in Google.
HTH.

Hi
When I open (for example) the root directory (C:\) in Explorer I see 15
icons corresponding to folders and a further 22 representing the files
in this directory.
If I switch to Details view, the size (in MB) of all of the files are
shown but NOT those of the folders.
I can, of course, see the size of each folder individually by right
clickingproperties.
However, it would be much more convenient if I could see all of the
folders sizes at once in the Details view of Explorer along with the
file sizes.
Anybody know if this is possible in WinME?
TIA
Paul

Default Folder size in Explorer

Thanks to everybody for the suggestions as to how to include folder
size (along with file size) in Windows Explorer.
I have tried all five suggestions and indeed all are useful (although
Powerdesk doesn´t actually seem to provide the folder size at all
unless I´ve missed something).
Nevertheless, the product that fits my original requirements most
exactly is ViewFolderSize. This fits seamlessly into Explorer without
bringing any other unnecessary nonsense with it.
It really is a very nice product but it is not free, being shareware
with a price tag of $15.
Once again, thanks to everyone for your interest and help.
Paul
