Can you check if “Folder Size” is one of the possible columns? If it is, I’m upgrading immediately.
The standard Size column only shows the size for files—it’s blank for folders. I’m wondering if the list of possible columns includes a “Folder Size”, which shows the size of a folder as well. WinXP had that exposed in the API, but Win7 doesn’t.

the total size show when you open the folder
for example I open my library and it show how much space it taked in total
then I go to Runtime and it show total how much space it take of all files in runtime folders etc… etc..
it does not show individual folder sizes in a row but at last it show something and it is faster as checking it via proportions
So basically, what I’m getting is, the sides of the screen and the four corners are what would be the MMC trio (Minimize, Maximize, Close) and Start button, and instead of-right-clicking, everything is right in front of your face. Am I correct?
if you click the windows key on the keyboard everything will be in your face what you need
if you click right on the start button you get additional options without leaving the desktop
nothing will show until you don’t want it too so minder annoying
and with the MMC you are correct , beware that the desktop is just another win8 app that run desktop programs only but that is an app that look and ::feel:; like the win7 at last visually

Each unto their own, can’t stand Windows 8 (and I’ve used it) despite the third party hacks that can bring back the start button. Part of my ire is that in some, admittedly technical areas, I really don’t like what MS are up to, with something like a driver change, such as updating the SATA drivers, chipset drivers, etc… can trigger a reactivation. Oh and woe betide any that buy a PC with Windows 8 pre-installed from a big OEM as a feature in the UEFI called secure boot could prevent you (or at least making it difficult) from installing or replacing the OS with something different, including an older version of Windows.
There’s just too much I don’t like about Windows 8 to waste money on upgrading.
as long you not living in California no problem hehe lol actually it would be good as I could escape the hurricane Sandy as it planed already to hit me lol

One last question for you, Mec4D…
Any chance that you’ll come over to my house and set up my machine for me?
