Folders size in windows explorer

[Darek]

I will like to see the size of my folders in windows
explorer. How can I make windows explorer show how big
is a folder containing several other folders without
right clicking on it and looking at properties? Can I
see size of the folders in windows explorer right window
in a similar fashion as I see size of the files? I would
like to sort folders by size and see how big each of them
is in one window at once; not by right clicking each
folder and checking properties of each.

Well you can't because it would take weeks to display. You can get the =
size in the infotip, though it displays a progressive count.

There's a freeware utility called Treesize which should do what you
want. It's added to the right-click menu. When you use it, Treesize
opens a window which shows the combined size of a folder plus the
individual sizes of its parts.
