This does not add column to file explorer as advertised, it opens sub-window which shows the folder sizes, but that gets in the way. More importantly, this site or software appears to have installed MALWARE on my laptop, cause the cursor to randomly start deleting text!

This was wonderful on Windows 7. It created an explorer context menu entry to scan a folder It created an BEAUTIFULLY formatted gui, which had a ton of flexibility and showed all sorts of useful information, including pie charts, and was very customizable. . It was INCREDIBLE. It does almost nothing on Windows 10 except popup a window every time I open explorer. There are no options to analyze subfolders, no nice gui (it is an absurdly childish gui a 3rd grader could write). Totally useless. It's very high overall rating is, today, probably all based on the Pre-win 10 version.

As others stated, the way how folder sizes are shown to you is clumsy. The program automatically resizes itself to the LONGEST file name present in the folder and ALWAYS stays on top, thereby blocking your view with a very large window (More than half a screen) until you resize it manually, both cannot be disabled or changed from available options. You also have ONLY 2 options of sorting folders: Alphabetically from A to Z, and by the largest to smallest file size. You cannot sort folders by Z to A, or by Smallest to Largest file size. Folders also take a few seconds to load in large quantity. Despite all this, "Folder Size for Windows" is a good freeware tool for sorting files out that otherwise would have "gone under the radar" when sorting one-by-one. Simply double-clicking on a folder in this program will automatically open the folder for you.

While it lacks features it lets you quickly see the size of all folders in explorer. The program creates a small window in the top-right of the screen listing the size of all folders in the current window. The program can be dismissed by clicking it's icon in the hidden icons menu and right clicking allows you to choose if it starts with windows.

It does what I need, but it would be handier as a column in File Explorer, the type of column that can be added or removed via RMB-click on the Details header.
