folder-size-thmbOne thing that annoys me is that when going through Windows Explorer, it doesn’t show the folder size in the folder size column like it shows for files.

Folder Size for Windows is a free addon for Windows XP/Vista that adds a new column to the Windows Explorer details view to displays the sizes of files and folders.

It has a service that scans your hard disk in the background and caches the results.

Useful? Yes it is! Now you won’t have to right-click and go into the Properties of a folder just to see its size. Nothing much to explain in here. If you too want to have folder sizes displayed in Windows Explorer, download this addon right away!

    I use Directory Report to show my folder sizes.
    Since it is a static analysis tool, it runs on Vista and Windows 7.
    It shows 2 folder sizes:
    1 The size of all files in just that folder
    2 The size of all files in that folder plus all its subfolders
    Plus it can create many reports
