Change folder options to show number of files in a folder

[Guest KekoaKonane]

I've searched and searched and can't find anything that comes near to what

I'm looking for, it's a very simple problem, I've even changed it before but

can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Specifially I'm trying to

find out what to change to show the amount of files in a folder. For

instance, the recycle bin would show 4.0 Gigs if I'd been on a deleting

rampage. Or one of my folders might show that I have 554 files in that

folder. I can't find help on this and it's very simple I know. I would

appreciate anyone's help with this. Thank you!

Kekoa, not quite sure if this is what you want, but try clicking on the

View menu and putting a checkmark next to Status Bar. Does that help?

Yes!! That was it!! Thank you so much, I'm going to save this thread for

future reference. I've searched all over and was not able to find help, all

I could find was hiding and showing folders but that was not my problem,

thank you again!
