hi John
this is very strange as I have just found folder size in the context menu.
I haven't changed any folder options at all for vista.
all I did was hit apps key on the folder, up arrowed to properties, routed
jaws to pc and read the screen.
jaws announced folder size like it did with xp.
sorry John, I've no ideas how to get this information other than to attempt
to set all folders back to default.
for burning disks, I use a free program called burn aware. this tells you
the files size as you add files or folders. it wont let you add any more
than the disk will hold.
it's easy to use as you only have to tab to the boxes and add data using
menus.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] folder options in vista
A few months ago I switched from XP to Vista, and thought I had imported
all my normal settings. Now when I open a folder with multiple mp3 files in
it, when I do an insert3, I hear the number of files in the folder, and
free space remaining on the disc, but not the total sise of the folder,
which I like to know prior to burning this to a cd. If I select one of the
mp3 files , I do get the size of that specific file. I have made sure the
"file size" in the view tab of the folder options menu is checked for the
folder, as well as the "file size" in the choose details option in the view
menu.On XP I would get a total size for the folder as well as each specific
file in the status bar. Any idea what I have done wrong? Thanks in
advance.
