View-->Arrange icons by-->size does not show the size. How to see the sizes?

Make sure you are using "details" view, then set view-->choose details and
make sure size is selected.

The size column shows sizes of files only, not folders. I did not ask about
files.

Dima,

As Rick said. In addition:

If you want to add the "Folder size" column in Detail View, read below:

Using the dirsize.dll plugin, you can add the Folder Size column for folders
in Detail View. This plugin calculates the folder size and displays it in a
column. Download Dirsize.dll plugin and place the file in Windows\System32
folder. Now, register the DLL using regsvr32 command from Start, Run dialog.

regsvr32 %Systemroot%\System32\Dirsize.dll

Next, open a folder and set it to Detail view. From the View menu, click
Choose Details. Put a checkmark near Folder Size, and click OK. Use CTRL and
+ key (Numeric Keypad) combination to resize the column width, so that the
Folder Size column is displayed correctly.

To apply this setting for all the folders, click Tools, Folder Options. In
the View tab and click Apply to all folders. To remove the feature, simply
un-register the DLL [regsvr32 /u %Systemroot%\System32\Dirsize.dll]. Ignore
error messages if any.

You can download the module from here: http://markd.mvps.org/home.asp

Perhaps sorting the listing by size?

The listing by size does not show large subfolders, but the listed folders
only.
