Can you tell a PS novice how to get this to sort by size? That would make it perfect.

So we have something like: x:\path\user1 x:\path\user2 x:\path\user3 and so on. I'd like to look at x:\path and sort all the folders in it by size, displaying the size in MB. So the results would be something like: x:\path\user3 500 MB x:\path\user1 200 MB x:\path\user2 100 MB What's the easiest way to do this? I'll need specifics (e.g., don't tell me I can do it with PS unless you're gonna tell me precisely how). :) John Hornbuckle, MSMIS, PMP MIS Department Taylor County School District www.taylor.k12.fl.us ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
