Windows Explorer does not have this capability. It can only be done with third party software. This is by design.
Determining the disk space consumed by a folder requires recursively going through each subfolder (potentially many thousands) and adding up the numbers. Doing that on a slow drive, or even worse on a busy server over a slow network link, and you have a serious problem. Most computer users will not understand the implications but Microsoft and corporate IT managers do.
Edit: And the numbers thus displayed are at best only an approximation anyway.
Hello prukeyhi
Try and use Folder Properties to view folder sizes.
It gives you the info you are requesting.
Info includes Size, Size on Disk, and number of files and subfolders.
iko22 method does work but only one file at a time. I use it often.
That is why some use 3rd party programs for such things if they want to see the specs on several files at one time.
