Obtain and record the size of specific folders?

How can I obtain and record the size of specific folders such as the cookies, temp, temp internet folders on a Windows XP machine? Is their some kind of counter I can set up? or a script I can run on a daily basis?
Thanks!

'chuck the below in a .vbs file and give it a run

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Call getFolderInfo("%systemdrive%\test")
Call getFolderInfo("c:\test2")
Set FSO = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing

Sub getFolderInfo(strPassed)
Dim objFolder
strPassed = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(strPassed)
If FSO.FolderExists(strPassed) Then
Set objFolder = FSO.GetFolder(strPassed)
Wscript.Echo strPassed & "=" & objFolder.Size
Set objFolder = Nothing
Else
Wscript.Echo strPassed & "=notfound"
End If
End Sub

Thanks!!! Works like a charm.
Is it possible to output this to a word doc or notepad file?

when you run it from a command prompt do something like

cscript.exe thescript.vbs > c:\results.txt

you can chuck it in a word doc from within the vbs but you would need to expose a word COM object and i am eating my lunch
