    Any programs to see folder size in the details column?


    When sorting a folder by details, you can choose various columns (Size, name, date etc.) is there any 3rd party software that can allow me to see a folders size?

    Failing that, is there any 3rd party software that will allow me to see a folders size in windows explorer? Hovering over for folder tips or right clicking and checking the properties isn't exactly efficient.

    Okay, when I said, This doesn't work .." I was referring to a global fix for folders and subfolders ... Unless i did something wrong.

    Your step-by-step instructions seems to have worked, on a per folder basis (I had been using Right click on name column and "Size all Columns to fit" Perhaps there is a difference in manually resizing the column at the dividing line ... but it still doesn't
    resize all sub folders and files globally. If I click on one of the folders in the group I resized, the files in that folder have to be resized also ...

    I mean, I guess if this fix works, I can resize the name column of every file folder as I click on them but better would be to resize the Documents file, double click it, click Excel and have all the worksheet file names already sized to fit ...
