As an alternative I prefer to have the speak tool tips on for all applications.
This will automatically give sizes and various detail information when a file
or folder is selected. It does, however, also result in other information
provided for other functions. To try this:
Bring up
the Configuration Manager and go to Verbosity Options in the Set Options
menu. Choose the verbosity level you want to customize and activate the
Preferences button. The Tool Tips checkbox is at the bottom of the list.
If you want Tool Tips spoken in all applications, you would want to bring up
the Default Configuration with Control+Shift+D before you make the change.

Hi,

Is there a way I can have Jaws Jaws tell me how big a file or folder or
drive is?
The quickest way that I've found is to turn on Details view in any folder
or in the drive list. To do that, do an alt+v, then arrow down to Details and
press Enter, or simply type d. Then, when you arrow around in a drive or folder
list, do a say line (insert+up arrow) and you'll hear the file size and the
date it was created/modified. For folder size, you may have to go into the
Properties dialog for the folder. Hope that helps.
Tom
