Folder Size
Folder Size is a free utility that displays the size of folders in Explorer folder windows alongside file sizes. Works with Windows 2000 and XP, does not work with 64-bit Windows PCs.
Rating: 5
Version tested: 2.3
Despite the fact that I know that Windows does not display the folder sizes in explorer windows, I somehow manage to be surprised every time I need the folder sizes, look for them, and find that they are not there. This program will finally put them there (see screenshot).
How to use this program: After installing, open any folder explorer window to ‘details’ view, right click on the column header, uncheck the original ’size’, check ‘foldersize’, and move that column to where you want it to be. Next go to the tools menu, folder options, ‘view’ tab and click on ‘apply to all folders’.
Not much more to say about this, except perhaps a big thank you to the developer.
Go to the download and install page for the latest version. The Program home page.
I prefer Windirstat
a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for Microsoft Windows (all current variants).

Aurionix FileUsage 1.1.3 does the same plus includes percentages. The home page is gone but I put a copy at http://rapidshare.com/files/248777722/FileUsage_1.1.3.rar It is probably still available at a lot of the archive sites but you never know. I’ve been hunting for the 2.4.09b build of SideSlide because the 3.x versions don’t play nice with ShowMyPC. Lots of hits, no valid download links.
Damn useful for such a simple utility. Now let’s see if I can free up some space on my hard drive.
Very helpful. I’ve already cleared up several gigs of space which I couldn’t easily identify before was being used up by stuff I didn’t need. Excellent.
Wow ! This is a wonderful program. Quite and quick. Some more info on it:
