Hi Champi, welcome to the forums.
I can't think why your setup would not be showing file sizes. Mine displays them fine ![]() Attachment 26461 You might want to check some of your 'view' settings (ALT+V within explorer) and see if any of them help. OS If my Windows Explorer showed that I wouldn't be here! It does not have the "size" column. How can I make it show file size (like Windows XP did)? If I put my cursor on the files one at a time, it will show all kinds of info, including file size. But that's slow and ponderous. I would like to be able to just look at the list of files, and see the sizes of everything right there (like with Windows XP) and like the screen shot you provided in your message. Thanks. |

Windows Explorer Status Bar: does not show file size
Orbital Shark & Kari - I suggest you open a Trash and select all files or a folder with subdirectories and different file types and select them all. Will you still be that smart? Then do the same on some XP machine to compare. Windows 7 sucks. They removed a bunch of handy features we were used to for years.

file-size - Windows 7 shell extension to show the size of the selected file(s) on the status bar. - Google Project Hosting Please try it out if you are interested and let me know if you have any problems. Thanks, Chris |

No, it is not MS's stupidity. It is the standard user's stupidity. They are so stupid that they freak out when they see technical data around (e.g.; file sizes). Apple company targets the stupid most, and Microsoft has just decided to race with Apple on this recently. It is a matter of profit, since the stupids cover a larger percentage of the total humanity.

I feel that I am an astute and experienced enough windows and computer user to see a shortcoming where it exists. Calling me stupid (even by inference) simply points to your own failings. |

Average computer user don't understand about computers. So they would like to see simplicity. They are in great numbers and they make the most money for software companies. That's why, us, the experienced ones are experiencing frustrations like the one being discussed under this forum topic. |

That's why, us, the experienced ones are experiencing frustrations like the one being discussed under this forum topic. I've been seeing this in all types of M/S software. My latest beef is with the Outlook module of Office 360. There are many areas where they tried to 'simplify' and ended up killing excellent tools, adjustments, tweaks, etc. So we agree on the symptom but not on the cause. ![]() |

TURN ON THE DETAILS PANE to see dETAILS (what you are calling the status bar).
If you are still using Windows 7, what you are looking for is the Details Pane (not info bar, status bar etc etc). You may have inadvertently unselected it and then wondered where it was. To fix this, follow this path Start Computer Organize Layout Details pane (click to turn it on and off). That's it. One can get so focused on the arcane architecture which makes up the computer operations that basics get overlooked. Cheers |
