I find myself right clicking for the properties of a folder to find out how big it is – way too often! So I went-a-looking for a quick and easy solution. Sure enough there is a free app that will modify your Windows Explorer to include a Folder Size Column!
Awesome! All you need to do is go here: http://foldersize.sourceforge.net/
Download, Install and then goto windows explorer right click on any column and choose Folder Size!
I love easy solutions!

I have this installed on most of my machines, it’s great. However, it doesn’t work with Vista.
This is AWESOME! Thanks I have never seen this before and it will save me so much time. You guys rock!
The thing that is even more awesome about this is that as long as you have it installed on your machine, it works for any share you connect to even if it’s not installed on the remote server.
I actually did not notice that before.
This will be HUGE in helping me sort out some of the home folders. It will allow me to quickly and easily see who is storing there crap on my server :)
Thanks Peter!
I have loved that tool since windows 2000 days. It’d be great to have on vista/server2k8 as well. God forbid MS finally figure out its something usefull to have.
M$ Will never learn! Still this is a huge resource for me!
Also see ShowSize for some more reports, for example, how much space a file type takes. ShowSize works on Vista.
