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.

Seperate Window showing the folder size for Vista and later. Need XP for extra column. But still, pretty useful. Sadly I didn't find a way to customise the value the size is shown in. Apparently only in KB. Easy to read, thanks to commas, still a little annoying.

Can't believe Windows didn't have this from the beginning. Thank you and congratulations to the developer!
