Simple WinXP question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

Hi,
This maybe a real stupid question concerning WindoweXP explorer - BUT I will
ask anyway :-). Why when I open up Windows Explorer on my XP machine do I
not get
information like how many files on the disk, disk space used (and left). On
my Windows 98SE computer I have this info showing on the bottom of the
window. It sure would be nice when I put in a Zip disk that I know how much
room is left to store more photos. Anyway, I am sure someone must be able to
answer this question. There are many things I do like about Windows XP, but
then there are a few things I think that are pretty stupid and and cannot be
changed or set up with ease.

OK... off my soap box
Thanks
Dan
