Q:    I used to be able to hold my mouse over a folder and a balloon would pop with the size of contents and number of files. I think I shut this function off just can't remember how. Looked in TweakUI but couldn't see anything. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

A:    Yes. Follow these steps to enable the folder contents infotip

  • Click Start, Run and type CONTROL FOLDERS
  • In the View tab, enable these two options:
     
    • Display file size information in folder tips
    • Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items
       
  • Click Apply, OK.

Note that both the above checkboxes need to be enabled in order to view the folder contents infotip.
