Here is my method for finding the size of a folder.  

Highlight the folder by cursering to it then press the Context Menu key, or
you may right click on the folder name.  This will bring up the context menu
from which you may select the Properties icon and either left click or press
enter on it.  

AT this point I use the JAWS curser to examine the page starting at the top.


Good luck.

Subject: [VICUG-L] how to get the size of a folder read to me?

Hi all,
I'm using a laptop, running windows xp home edition, and jfw 9.0.552 Now,
here's the problem.  I turned off the hide extentions for known file types,
so it will tell me the size of all my files, and the extensions, however, I
can't get the thing to speak the size of all of my folders.  Can someone
walk me through, step by step, on how to set the computer up, so it will
speak the size of each folder when I highlight it?
Harry
