Thanks. that helped me free up several gigs on my ever-shrinking
documents partition.
Unfortunately, you do have to go through your instructions for every
folder you want to view the details with, but like I said, I found a
few gigs that I didn't realize were there (including a Win 7 RC
installation file that I had forgotten about) so I do appreciate it.
Hopefully this is something that Win 7 if not Vista can do on its own.
The threads I found before posting said something about how awkward it
would be to constantly have to recalculate the size of folders. Even
if this wasn't a "live" feature, I still can't help but think that
this is something Explorer should have been doing long ago.
