View folder size in Vista

I was wondering if anyone knows how to view folder sizes in Vista - without selecting properties for each folder. You know how you can sort by file size, type, etc? Well you can't do that with folder sizes...

I know there are plenty of third-party apps for XP, but so far I haven't found any that are compatible for Vista.

I hope I've explained myself clearly...can anyone help?

Thanks. :)

Re: View folder size in Vista

Thanks...it's a pretty good program, however, the thing I was looking for is one that allows folders to be sorted by folder size in windows explorer - like with other attributes such as tags, file size, name, type etc;

Wow, how come your winxs thing is so big? Mine's only about 3.5GB.
