Hi guys, Honestly, the information he's talking about can be displayed right on the line alongside the filename, the regular item in the list file! Why go into properties and this and that. Why not just learn how to set filenames to display the informations or learn how to read it if it's already right there? Some of these suggestions are workarounds for a situation that doesn't *need* a workaround, and by going that way a person deprives him or herself of learning a basic thing about what information can be displayed on the file listing itself, quite normally. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Allen" <wd8ldy@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 12:31 AM Subject: Re: windows explorer Hi Jim and list: The most reliable way of finding file size that I know of is the way that I described. Yes, it does require you to use the Jaws cursor. Sorry about that. But really it's rare that I feel the need to investigate the information to that extreme. Things were sure different back in the DOS days, but enough said about that.
