Don, this is actually more accessible in Windows 7. Just set your view to details, then use the left and right arrow keys to review the relevant details. I personally like this enhancement, as it reminds me of an Excel spreadsheet, as, for example, if you right arrow to the total size of a hard disk, then you down arrow, you are still on the total size column. Good or what! Anyway, hope this helps.

Back when I had Vista Home Premium, I had Windows Explorer set so if you were 
viewing the root of a hard drive or device, the used and free space info was in 
the Status Bar.  Therefore, I could easily get JAWS to announce this inffo by 
pressing Insert + PageDown.  It would also announce the size of the selected 
items.  This came in handdy when preparing to copy files.  Now that I am using 
Windows 7, I have no idea how to set this option, if it is still available.  
Does anyone know how to make this information available in the Status Bar in 
Windows 7?
