Folder Size for Windows 2.4 (32- 64 bit) / RS / UL / 5.1MB
Folder Size for Windows adds a new column to the Details view in Windows Explorer. The new column
shows not only the size of files, but also the size of folders. It
keeps track of which folders you view, and scans them in the background
so you can see complete size of all files within the folder. It's very
useful for cleaning up your disk. Once you get used to having that
information available, a directory listing simply looks incomplete
without it!
Features
Don't switch to another program to see folder sizes. It's always
there when you're viewing your folders (even in Open and Save file
dialog boxes, you can change the view), and it's a great visual cue to
help you find the one you're looking for. Not just for disk cleanup,
but for any time you need to choose a folder. * No scanning phase before you can start. As soon as you display the Folder Sizecolumn, you'll see sizes immediately. Large folders will continue to scan in the background while you browse your folders. * Explorer will automatically update the folder sizecolumn in real-time. No more manual rescanning. * Background scans won't monopolize your disk. When Folder Size
detects that other programs are doing a lot of reading to and writing
from the hard disk being scanned, the background scanning will wait for
the other programs to finish. * Folder Size for Windows runs on Windows 2000 and XP, though has been tested almost exclusively on Windows XP. Sorry, not Vista. * If you don't show the Folder Sizecolumn
for a while, it won't forget what it's already scanned, but the
background scanner doesn't stay active. It won't waste any CPU time
maintaining the cache on your P2P sharing or gaming machine that's
always changing files.
