in reply to folder size

One thing that could possibly be tried is using Microsofts diruse command. This is in Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools

c:\temp>diruse <foldername> /m
should give size in MB

I've never used this so I buyer beware! I suspect that cdarke is right in that this is just an expensive thing to calculate and it takes awhile.

    For Windows you can use this nice freeware: Folder Size It is really good and provides also bar and pie chart visualization.
