[DanPopescu]

I installed a program called disk view on my computer
this allows me to see the folder sizes on my disks.
I suposed to have a new toolbar in explorer
But nothing
How do I setup the explorer in order to allow the new toolbars to be installed?

Right click on the toolbar that's already in explorer and you should see it there.

Although for me, the status bar tells me the folder size / anything select anyway so not sure why you'd want a 3rd party add-on to do the same thing.

Why do I want to be able to see the size of the folders directly? Because my disks are almost full and I want to see wich folders are larger. There has to be a setting in the registry that allows me to turn off the protection for the toolbars in order to install a new one. This is my question. I know about view- toolbars and from there to choose wherever toolbar to show. Bust this program or another similar one will show into the normal explorer window the size of a folder like how size of the files are shown.
This is my question

Thank you

Is this what you are talking about?

Hey, where is the DiskView Toolbar? I don't see it.
