Get ALL the Space Used in Multiple Folders.

SUMMARY: How much room are your files and folders taking up in Windows 95?

If you select multiple folders in the Explorer by holding down the control key while selecting folders, you can easily pull up the cumulative total of space used and files contained in each of these folders, as well as sub-folders contained within. After selecting your folders, right-mouse click on one of them and select "Properties." Win95 will then calculate the space and file totals. This can be very useful if you need to figure out how much space that needs to be free on a backup device to hold your folders and files.
