Make sure you are using "details" view, then set view--choose details and
make sure size is selected. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Dima" wrote in message ...

Dima,
As Rick said. In addition: If you want to add the "Folder size" column in Detail View, read below: Using the dirsize.dll plugin, you can add the Folder Size column for folders in Detail View. This plugin calculates the folder size and displays it in a column. Download Dirsize.dll plugin and place the file in Windows\System32 folder. Now, register the DLL using regsvr32 command from Start, Run dialog. regsvr32 %Systemroot%\System32\Dirsize.dll Next, open a folder and set it to Detail view. From the View menu, click Choose Details. Put a checkmark near Folder Size, and click OK. Use CTRL and + key (Numeric Keypad) combination to resize the column width, so that the Folder Size column is displayed correctly. To apply this setting for all the folders, click Tools, Folder Options. In the View tab and click Apply to all folders. To remove the feature, simply un-register the DLL [regsvr32 /u %Systemroot%\System32\Dirsize.dll]. Ignore error messages if any. You can download the module from he http://markd.mvps.org/home.asp -- Ramesh, Windows XP MVP http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Dima" wrote in message ... Thanks for your reply.

The size column shows sizes of files only, not folders. I did not ask about
files.
