    Windows Explorer Status Bar: does not show file size


    Why the heck Windows Explorer status bar does not show the file size, as it used to do in Vista and XP?

    Is it possible that Microsoft is that stupid to remove such an important feature?

    Hi Champi, welcome to the forums.

    I can't think why your setup would not be showing file sizes. Mine displays them fine

    You might want to check some of your 'view' settings (ALT+V within explorer) and see if any of them help.

    Kari, i think we may both be jumping to conclusions as clearly it works for us

    What would be nice, Champi, is a screenshot of your explorer as you see it so we can assess more deeply into your issue :)

    Well maybe something disabled the "Show preview and filters". Go to Computer and click on organize and in the drop down menu click on "Folder and search options". Now check the "Show preview and filters" option and click apply.

    Hope this helps :)

    Yeah, that's true. I'm having a bad day at work, though that's not an excuse.

    pedantically speaking, what you are looking at is the 'infobar'. the staus bar still exists, and is there to be turned on if desired, but it is uselss now, only showing number of files selected. you can see the status bar on the bottom of kari's snipshot.

    so the status bar doesn't show file size (which is title of thread).

    So the question is null & void then.....As the infobar takes place of the status bar.

    Nice catch though MM

    So, MS was stupid enough to replace a limited feature with a more robust and comprehensive and customizable one?

    The status bar question has been asked so many times, and finally M square provides a focused and valid answer. +1
