Try changing the view in the folder window to "details". Just choose
the "view" menu and then the "details" choice. You'll get a column with
the sizes for files (but not folders). You won't hear the sizes as you
up/down arrow through the list, but if you press insert+up arrow to hear
the current line, you'll get all the info including the size.
For a folder you'll have to right click it and choose properties.
You'll then need to use the jaws cursor in the general tab of the
properties dialog to find the size and number of sub-files and folders.
This takes windows a while to calculate sometimes, so read it several
times to see that it's stopped changing before exiting the dialog.

Subject: Getting files/folders to show size
Hello all,
Using Jaws 9, newest update, and W/Vista. In the folder options
on the control panel, I have show file/folder size checked. But when I
go to a file/folder and press the Jaws/Page down key nothing is said.
What do I have to do to get Jaws to tell me the size of these
items?
Should I have details highlighted for every where I want to
have file size recognized?
Thanks,
Morey
