If you want to see the size of the folders in explorer, then use this software

Thanks for your reply Mr.GeeNeeYes!
FolderSize is an old buddy of mine..i have been using that for long...but when Windows has same thing reserved for Recycle Bin then there SHOULD be some registry hack for other folder...remember "Empty Recycle Bin" can be added to every folder right click?

you are right.. it can be implemented in other folders as well, BUT it cannot be a registry hack since it is incorporated in the explorer.exe file.... maybe somebody can ResHack it and come up with a solution... thats what FolderSize does I believe... using APIs?
