Size of User Folder
How can I find the size of a User folder? If I right click, Properties is not one of the choices.
I want to manually backup my User Folder to an external hard drive, but I want to know how much space it will need.
Thanks, AB

If you right click USERS or any of the sub-folders in USERS, such as Public, the size of the folder is listed on the General Tab under SIZE.
Are you logged on as the Administrator? You need to be an administrator do do many things in Vista.

I only have one user and the Public user and neither one gives me Properties when I right click. I get: Expand, Explore, Open, Scan, New, Copy, Delete.
