Maybe it's related to how you get to the folders you're looking at. The
reason I asked for confirmation on your setup earlier is because I see
overall disk free space on the Status Bar in Explorer. Playing around with
it some more, it looks like the free disk space doesn't show up if you're
browsing the "shortcut" folders (i.a., the stuff under <username> or Public)
instead of starting from "Computer." I'd say you don't have to use the
Computer tool to see disk space, but it looks like you do have to at least
browse the "Computer" folder structure in Explorer to see it.
