Here is my 2 cents:

if you have ever wanted to know the folder size of a folder in windows,
you would right-click - properties and then get the size. If you do this
for a large folder it will take some time to assess the size of the
folder, sometimes up to a minute if it is many gigabytes.

I've used foldersize.exe with xp and has served me well, however, you
will get much hd thrashing when using explorer when foldersize is
enabled.

i suspect the shell team opted NOT to inlcude this feature for the very
fact that it is quite hd resource intensive to add up all the files in
every folder when browsing through explorer.

I browsed the answers on this topic here, and was surprised at how
knowledgeable the replies were, yet did not answer the question, or
appeared to have misunderstood the OP request!
