Arrange folders by size

In windows, we can not directly see the size of a folder. We have to move the mouse over it, or go to properties. But I encountered a situation, where I had to find and compare the size of some folders. In short, I need to arrange forlder accoring to their size. But there was no built in support for it.

After some searching, I got a very good solution in net. That is "FolderSize.exe" It is a simple utility, that calculates the size of all folders I see in explorer.

Download FolderSize (Win 2000/XP)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/foldersize/
Installation 
Just like any other programm, run the installer.

Use
After installation, it is accessible via windows explorer detail view. (Where you see the size, date etc of the files. Right click on the header labels, (ie on 'size') and a list of available fields will pop up. Enable "Folder Size" from the list. You will get the size of all folders and files also. Now you may turn off the filesize column because the filesize is listed under foldersize column.



Stopping FolderSize
You may stop the service without uninstalling it and may start again when required. Go to control pannel and there is an entry for FolderSize. Double clicking on it will open a box where you can stop it.


Uninstalling
Like any other software, it can be uninstalled via control pannel's Add Remove Program.
