[kickout1434]

it is seen that when we single click on a file(that is not a folder)the size is displayed on the left hand side bar..but when similar thing is done with a folder it does not happen..is there any way to do it??

The behavior is called "Tool Tips".
By default it should be enabled in ur OS.
If u r using XP, I can guide u to enable it.

Go to Tools-->Folder Options-->View tab.
Here u will find a "checkbox" having value "Display file size information in folder tips".
Tick it and press OK button.
Now u would get Size and Folder content info when hovering mouse over any folder.
