This problem is very annoying.

In Windows XP when I open a folder, a music folder for example, it would display the total number of files in the folder and the total file size. Windows 7 does not do this, which is fine, I thought, I'll just highlight all the files with Ctrl+A, doesn't work, I have to click on 'Show more details' which is hassle.

And why such a arbitrary number 15?

Is there a registry modification to increase this number? To say, 9999?

*edit* Found the solution in this thread. Mod can delete this junk post, thanks!

Hi all,

My mistake posting on this thread rather than the other one (linked to above by 0pTical). Post moved.
