A few alternatives

FolderSize v.3.2 [free]

Folder Size Shell Extension is a free shell extension for Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0 or above. It adds a new tab to the Properties dialog that displays a folder's and drive's size. This new page allows you see the folders and sub folders sizes (in a hierarchical tree). To access to the options (units, sort, etc.) a contextual menu is provided. Folder Size Shell Extension delivers useful information and integrates well into Windows 95/98 and NT's existing structure.

Introduction

In day to day life, when one wants to know the size of a folder, (s)he has to right click on the folder name and has to choose the Properties. Using this DLL, one can view the folder size as one of the columns of the Explorer as shown in the image. We also have the facility to sort according to the folder size

This class implements the Shell interface called IColumnProvider. Using this interface, one can customize the Explorer's Details view. This class adds one more column to the Details view, which displays the consolidated folder size.

To build this project, you must install Microsoft Platform SDK, or click here [53.5 Kb] to download SHLOBJ.h.

How to Use the DLL

Well, if you build the project, you need not do anything, since the IDE automatically registers the DLL. If demo project is downloaded, then unzip the DLL and register it using the command "regsvr32 <Path of the unzipped DLL>". E.g., Regsvr32 c:\DirSize.DLL, if the DLL is present in C:.

Since that site wont let u dld untill you register ive uploaded it from my site

I have been using FolderSize Since 2001, it one of my best utilities. I think MS should copy up with similar functionality in upcoming windows

What The Hell !
I cant Belive, People actually Use such kind of things!

I Just need no know, Why people Install Such rubbish Software Insted of Using what Windows XP give.

Windows XP alps provides info bout folder size (Click on any folder & hover UR pointer, The Ballon tip will provide all info U need bout that folder, including the size.)

And people try using the startus bar That Explorer Has. Single click on any file & startus bar displays the size of the file!

Do Us all a favour Sniper, keep that Gun In the locker & ask User to Get Max out of There Operating System.
