It’s free, and you can get it at .įolder Size Explorer runs on any recent version of Windows (although I only have it installed on my Windows 7 machine). The fix is a little program called Folder Size Explorer. But that’s how it has always been, and Microsoft probably doesn’t have any plans to display that info, regardless of how OBVIOUS it is that it should be shown there.Īs is often the case, someone recognized this need and created a solution.
How am I supposed to know how much data is in each of those folders? Microsoft goes to all the trouble to have that column there titled “Size” and then for any of the folders, it is just left blank – no information! This just does not make any sense. I choose to display in the “Details” format). Mine looks like the image below (yours may display slightly different if you choose to display Large Icons, Small Icons, etc. For this example, I’m assuming you have some sub-folders inside the Documents folder. On your Windows computer, click the Start button (the MS orb in the lower left) and choose the Documents folder. Well, here’s something that I think is obvious: Windows Explorer should display folder size by default. And we the taxpayers are often paying for these ridiculous things! Some important “findings” include “students who do their homework get higher grades” ( study), “pigs do love mud” ( study), “weight gain is caused by overeating” ( study), and “reading is good for your brain” ( study). But, just about every week (if not every day) some new “research study” comes out with an end result that any reasonable person with half a brain could have come up with.
