How to display folder sizes in Windows Explorer - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Holo · 06-02-2004, 06:05 PM

I got really annoyed at Explorer's lack of being able to display the size of a folder in a given drive, and I recently found a fix- a DLL that allows you to see the space a folder eats up on your drive(s).

Just copy this to C: and paste this into the Run box:

Regsvr32 c:\DirSize.DLL

and right click in the Details and select Folder Sizes.

I'm hosting it here:

if you can't access it try later...they have a really shitty quota.

Alternatively, you could right-click, go to properties, and look there...

^ right, but that gets really annoying when one has a crapload of files. Trust me, this is something I've wanted Explorer to do for a long time (without having to use an explorer 'replacement').

Thx much Holo for the link I will give it a try, and I hope it doesn't noticeably slow things down.

UPDATE: I had a friend fix the incorrect display in the DLL so it now shows folders in MBs not bytes with a MB tag. URL is the same above.
