I just want to see FOLDER SIZE IN WINDOWS 7

Why is it so hard !!??


I just want to see FOLDER SIZE IN WINDOWS 7

I did have a program called foldersize for displaying a size of a folder in the Explorer window. It was great. You could see if a folder contained 4Mb or 150Mb and visually sumize if you could fit these on a USB stick, a disk, and many other uses. It comes from here http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/

It worked.

It was a third party program ('cos Microsoft can't / don't want to supply such information). They seem to want us to right click and check properties a hundred times a bloody day.

But now I am trialing Windows 7, and yep, it does not work.

And neither does a dll file called dirsize.dll from here.

Bugger !!
