Any one know of a good free Folder Size add on for Windows 7 64 bit Explorer? Cnet's folder size
is a no show, and Google shows many shareware's but no freebies

I don't know of a W/E add on, but FWIW there is a stand-alone utility that
works well.

I've found nothing to beat Sequoiaview on my Win7 64 bit.

you probably want one that simply reports the folder size in the column
that file sizes are reported in windows 7 explorer. unfortunately i
don't think that can be done and don't know of any add-ons.... hence
the above suggestions as to folder size browsing tools, of which there
are a ton.

Try Treesize free. Used it for years.

<snipped the non-signature political MOTD>
<snipped the non-signature email unmunge instructions>

Please configure Forte Agent to insert a proper signature (which begins
with the "-- \n" sigdash delimiter line). All your political fluff and
unmunge instructions were in the *body* of your post and not in a
signature.


I also vote for Philip's suggestion of TreeSizeFree. You didn't mention
a requirement of free or if you were willing to buy payware. If you
want more, the Personal and Pro versions have more features. I've only
used the TreeSizeFree version.

I had TreeSize Personal installed but didn't use it that often. After
uninstalling it as part of my occasional host cleanup, I needed it again
so reinstalled it. Very handy when you need it.

yes, treesize by jam software is another of the tools that does not
integrate with windows explorer. like the others suggested it does
provide the desired information in its own window.

It isn't an add-on, it's a standalone program, but I recommend it all
the same ...

Hmm, reminiscent of "Scanner", which has been around a while - works on
'9x, XP ... (not sure about 7): http://steffengerlach.de/freeware/

Not sure what you mean by 'integrate' but when you install Treesize with
the default options you get a right-click option on folders which does a
scan from that point down - really useful.
