I am looking for a file manager similar to Windows Explorer which
shows a folder "tree" with the size of each the folders.

Does such a utility exist?

Prefereably freeware.

Suggest Total Commander from http://www.ghisler.com/. It will do pretty much
what you want, but a bit differently. You can highlight a folder and then
press ctrl/L. You will get a popup window that will tell you how many
files/folders are within and the total space used for all.

Did I say it's FREE!

TrackerV3:
http://www.trackerv3.com/overview.htm

The installation of TrackerV3 totals to about 1MB. No files are added to
your system and your registry is not touched. Also, running the program does
not change your system or registry.

The home license, which is free of charge, is restricted to personal home
use and to non-profit and educational organizations.

When you find one, let me know. Also, a 98 lookalike search facility would
not go amiss either.

PowerDesk is the best one I know of. There's a free version you can
get here:

http://www.v-com.com/product/pd_free_trial.html

It lacks some of the features of the full pro version, but there's no
time limit on the trial.

File sizes can show in the "Details" view and you can specify in
Options > Preference > Details View tab exactly which info you want in
that view (I'm guessing the choice is available in the trial version).
File size also shows in the status bar when any file or group of files
is highlighted.

If you want Search to have the "Classic" Windows look, you can specify
that in TweakUI > Explorer. Check the boxes next to "Use Classic
Search in Explorer" and "Use Classic Search in Internet Explorer."

If you don't already have TweakUI installed, you'll find it on this
page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Of course, this assumes you are using WinXP...

You can use it for years without paying if you can live with the nag screen!
Pay and eliminate the nag screen. I paid 6 years ago and have gotten every
update since then for free, some of them major revisions and even new
versions.

From the website:
Total Commander, Version 6.03a, is a Shareware file manager for
Windows® 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, and Windows® 3.1.

It's non-expiring shareware with a nag screen. It's the best of the
dual-pane file managers but it isn't free.

This is true. I paid for it too, but I wouldn't recommend it here
because it isn't freeware, which is what this group is about.

Using it for years without paying for it is neither legal nor ethical.
The licence states, inter alia, "You have the right to test this
program for a period of one month."

I have used PowerDesk for many years, both the free and the pay versions.

It does the job. I can really see what I have and can see easily what I
have to do.

The pay version has a great Synchronize tool that I find useful to move
files to a flash disk for travel.

Icons make it too easy to loose track of where you are.

I send much time holding hands with several friends. I install the free
version of Powerdesk, Belarc Advisor, Adaware, a free or pay anti-virus
and then a firewall like ZoneAlarm or BlackIce,

Actually thre are too many people out there who should not own a computer.

They are the cause of too many of our troubles.

95/98/NT4 had a more classic than classic search extension. It was dialog based rather than Explorer Bar based. What XP calls classic is the 2000/ME style.

I have something Similar but not a fullblown file manager.

http://space.dolphin.free.fr/
Folder Size Shell Extension

This is a property page. When you right click on a directory or drive and bring
up Properties, there is an extra tab called Size. It will bring up, in that tab window
a tree of the drive or directory you clicked on and all subdirectories named with
the size of each and every sub. You can configure it in bytes, KB, MB, or GB.
You can run it as English or French, sort in different orders and such.

Ahhh, site won't let me in. You can also get it here;

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,15304,00.asp

This site shows a small window of what it'll look like.
Nice for seeing where the files are meeting in secret to plot against your drive.
Also shows you subdirectories that you've forgotten about.

I notice you didn't bestir yourself to adjust the groups line, did
you, my top-posting text-mode superhero?

Regardless of which group you're in, Crusty was informing people that
a shareware program is free. It's not so.

Now go back to your toys, David, and don't bother the grownups again.

LMAO! The hypocrasy finally shows its full colors!! You and all your
butt-buddies scream and holler about anyone wanting to use XPee as they see fit
in their own home, but when it comes to other software, it's a whole different
story! You people have just shown yourselves what idiots and hypocrates you
truly are. Lash out at someone who crossposted just because you had no way to
cover your hypocrasy and bullshit lies.
