When i view my files under "details" arrangement, i can see all the file size easily. But it doesn't list folder size. i need to right click on the folder to find out how much size each folder takes and it is pretty troublesome. \n\nIs there a way to list folder size like file size in WinXP?

you must have some kind of folder error on your computer,as ive had files of 25gb before,has this happened once or on every file\n  try check for errors on local disk option,and scan for bad sectors,you may need to re-boot for this\n  as normal..run a virus check and spyware check\nthis ones baffled me\n   watch this space

if you use winrar to open a file..you must open the first one, and it will open all of them and put them together for you, you normally know you did it right becuz it will take  longer than a couple seconds to put together 1 gig..lol, but yea once you do that you should be ok

in windows explorer, right click on the C: drive <properties> see how much diskspace is left, do disk cleanup.  If that doesn't free up space use explorer to find out files you no longer need.  You might also go to control panel and delete programs you no longer need.

Right.\n\nIt is possible the change to folder that 'My Pictures' points to - I think it requires a registry edit.\n\nTry searching the Microsoft website - I'm pretty sure I've seen an article on how to do this.\n(Also: folders like 'My Pictures' are called 'Special Folders' in WinXP - you might need to search for that.)\n\nYou could also try www.tweakxp.com  -  just be careful, because not all of they solutions are well-tested.

You can try Irfanview, it's free (ACDSee and Photoshop are fine too but they're not free) from http://www.irfanview.com/ \nIt also has a nice batch edit function so you can resize a whole folder at one go.\n\nBasically if you resize to 1024 on the longest side and save as JPG with 80% compression, it should give you a file in the one to two hundred kilobyte range.

When in WinRar, there's a option that allows to choose where you want the file to be extracted too.  Click that - and see the file name, after their done you just find that folder and there's your file(s).

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for but it is a tiny program called Treesize that shows you a graphic representation of which directories and folders are using the most space, http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml if you are looking for a drive cleaner/registry cleaner I will point you towards, CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ at least some of this should be useful.

if sending many files, it may be inconvinient to rename one by one, zip them using winzip or similiar, than rename the zip, ask the people on the other side to rename the zip back.\n\nNB: on WinXP, file extention is default to be hidden, try finsing tutorial for showing it, I'm too lazy to write it

Try resizing the window by dragging the borders (not using the maximize button) and closing them right away.  You'll have to do this for each of the different types of windows once (explorer, file manager, application window).  Now each time you open a window of that type it should open to the size that you resized it to.

This is a guess, but probably a pretty good one. Every kind of file stored on a computer has associations that tell the operating system which application to use when opening it. For example, on your old computer you might have had photoshop installed and when it as installed it registered itself with windows as the first choice application to open certain kinds of files (like a .JPG file for instance).\n\nFiles that have already been opened from attachments have been registered by whatever email program you are using as having been opened with a particular application and so when that attachment is reopened windows already knows what application to use to open it.\n\nIt sounds to me as though what is happening to you is that new email attachments that have never been opened don't have an association with a particular program you want to use. They way to fix this is to open Windows explorer, (just open my computer) click Tools>folder options> file types and scroll down the list of file types to the kind of file that you are trying to open. Most photos these days are mailed as jpg files, but yours could be tiff or something else-you should know that. Once you find the file type highlight it and you should be able to see what program windows thinks it should use to open the file and whether or not you have the program. If you want to use a different program click change and tell windows what you want to use. The default program that windows preassociates with JPEG files is the windows photo and fax viewer which usually works pretty well for casual viewing. It could also be that your email program or browser doesn't know what helper program to use. That's pretty easy to fix too. If this doesn't work, you can always post another question.\n\nIt could be that you have an entirely different problem, but this is the first thing I would try because its easy to undo if it doesn't work. All the other reasons your pictures aren't opening are trickier to fix than this.

As per my knowledge there is no such folder callled Profiles in Windows XP. Can you tell the location of this folder? It could be possible that this Profiles folder belongs to some software instead.\n\n\nCheers,\nManish

Save it in your "documents" then right click on "start" and select "explore."  This will show your complete file system.\n\nFind to the file you saved and drag and drop it in the "3 1/2 inch" floppy near the top under desktop in the explore file system.  Then click on the "3 1/2 inch" floppy and see if it is in there.  \n\nHope that helps.

Not quite sure what you are asking here but when you put files into a system folder you don't really know which ones you put there or which ones are auctually system files. You can however right click on them and check the attribs set for them. Such as the system attrib.

Not knowing what version of Windows you are using. Explorer uses IE to open up folders. that could be what you're seeing.
