Display folder size in Windows Explorer

I try to get the size of the folder to display in the details pane in Windows Explorer (on Vista).  When I had Windows XP (Professional edition), it would appear that there, but not with Vista.  Under XP I could just click on a folder and the size of the folder would be in the details pane, but Vista does not do that.  (The only downside was that the size of subfolders was not included here, that the size of individual files in this folder; but just expand the folder in the navigation and then clicking on each subfolder, I might understand this.)  I'll be leaving my office soon and want to have an idea of the size of the files I want to carry around with me (and how many CD, I might have need - can use keys USB memory on the system of Government) when I go.  I looked through Windows help, but I can't find the answer to this question.  Anyone?

Right-click on the folder and click Properties and it will show you the number of files, the number of cases, the sizes of these each and other details.  You can also hover your mouse on the file and it will show the tooltips which include the EIS (but not so much information as properties).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • How to stop desktop folder open in windows Explorer at startup?

    Hi Ellen

    He is a longshot, but try the following and be careful when you edit the registry.

    Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    In the right window, look at the Shell value.

    This value should show Explorer.exe and nothuing else.

    If it shows than anything else, right-click the Shell value and select modify.

    Delete everything in the value data area except  Explorer.exe.

    Click OK.

    If you have made any changes, restart and test the results.

    NOTE: Make sure that you do not delete the Explorer.exe in the value of the hull, since it is responsible for displaying the interface of windows when you start the computer.

    If it does not, when you start the computer and the desktop folder pops up, look at the path in the address bar to this folder. Click on an empty spot in the address bar and copy / paste this path into an answer here.

  • The font size in windows Explorer

    Hello

    Is there a way to increase the font size of the names of files that are displayed in windows Explorer and not the font size of all the other parts of windows [for example, links and the other parts of the entire operating system].

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Gary Tonsley

    It shouldn't change all the text in the operating system when you adjust the font size of icon, but it will certainly adjust some other texts.  Things like menus and title bars remain the same (they have their own font size options), but yes: other parts were inspired by the icon as the base line for consistency.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit: MP3 edition & display of metadata in windows explore

    I have a question about WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 BIT and edit and display METADATA of MP3 files in windows Explorer. Windows Explorer does not allow me to change the metadata (contributing artists, genre, year, etc.) on some of my MP3 files. Change is made at the bottom of the browser or right click on the MP3 file and edit in the Details tab in the properties. Sometimes the metadata are referred to as tags.

    The error I get when I try to change metadata in windows Explorer is:

    Error 0x8007000D: the data is invalid

    This is a new computer and Windows 7 is pre-installed.

    Help please!

    I'd even though my library removing these hidden ID3v2.4 tags, I found a quick, if making mp3tag. Select a whole bunch of songs (no matter if they have the extra layer of ID3v2.4 tags) and remove the labels. Then click on the Cancel button. During the cancellation he writes only ID3v2.3 tags and remove the hidden ID3v2.4 tags. This way is easier because I don't have to worry about destroying it the tag data id3 files that do not have the problem.

  • Lock the folder structure in Windows Explorer?

    Greetings,

    I work in a large group of engineers to access the servers shared with complex file trees.  Using Windows 7, 8 and 10.

    Is it possible to lock the file tree structure so that cases move?

    It is not uncommon for a user to work quickly, accidentally retrieve a whole folder, move their mouse and drop it in a different location and not even realize that they had done.  There is a period of panic, wondering how a whole folder got deleted or moved followed relief when (if?) he is once again.

    We must be able to lock a folder tree without affecting the access and permissions applied to these folders and files in them.

    Is it possible to do?

    Ask users to work slowly and methodically doesn't seem to be an option :)

    Thank you

    Erik

    Try to change the permissions on a file to see if you can find a way.  Right-click on any file, choose Properties, and then select the Security tab.  There are also advanced features.

    When you open my computer or Windows Explorer, there is an option to display the 'size', but it does not for the record, only the files in the folders. How can I automatically see sizes of the entire folder without going through a right click and see the properties on each folder or without having to go on the record?

    Hello

    Windows Explorer has never included the ability to display folder sizes.

    There are third-party modules that can do it. Use your favorite search engine to find these.

  • Right-click on any file or folder in Windows Explorer causes closing.

    Hello.
    is my windows: XP SP3 (with the latest updates)

    whenever I do a right-click on any file or folder in Explorer, display this error:

    Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    I can't do any process on my files (rename, delete, copy, paste,...)

    error report contains:
    AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

    This looks like a problem with the Extension of Shell.

    To resolve, download the freeware "ShellExView".
       <>http://download.CNET.com/ShellExView/3000-2094_4-145729.html >

    When you run it, it will give the list all extensions of shell on your computer.  You start by selectively the deactivation and activation of extensions until you find the (s) which is causing your problem.  Start by turning off all non-Microsoft (right click on a line-> disable) extensions and see if your problem persists.  If it isn't, then re-enable the disabled in small groups until you narrow down which is causing your problem.

  • Cannot open the folder of IMAGES on SONY NWZ - E383 Walkman using Windows Explorer.

    I loaded several songs, videos and photos on the Walkman NWZ-E383.

    The PICTURES folder has become inaccessible to Windows Explorer (cannot open to add or remove photos).

    Any ideas?

    Joffrey:

    I tried your suggestion, but I am still unable to access the folder IMAGES using Windows Explorer.

    The progress bar green in Windows Explorer at the top never quite reaches the right side.

    MUSIC and VIDEO files work fine.

    I even tried pressing the RESET button at the back of the Walkman, without success.

    What other ideas can you suggest?

    Thank you.
