See Your File and Folder Size from Windows Explorer with View Folder Size Pro 4.0

Moveax Software Company today announces the unveiling of View Folder Size Pro, the newest version of the slim add-on utility for the Windows platforms. This highly configurable application enables you to view total file and folder size details right from Windows Explorer without having to switch to another application. The application serves as a handier alternative to the standard "Size" column in Windows Explorer. And its unbeatable combination of high speed performance, real-time size information updating and flexible customization options for displaying information make View Folder Size Pro stand out of other competing software.

"View Folder Size is designed for anyone who wants to see the size of computer folders and files at one peek on Windows Explorer," says Andrey Veselov, sales manager at Moveax. "It seamlessly integrates into Windows Explorer and works transparently throughout the OS without cutting down on its performance. You can easily customize the settings related to file and/or folder display style, including metrics which can be in bytes, Kbytes, Mbytes, Gbytes, separator, decimal digits capacity and the format to display additional information. Also, the utility can sort files and folders of any size, display the size of the folder content related to its overall size in percents and graphically - and all this in a couple of clicks."

As compared to its competitors, View Folder Size Pro is a leap ahead in performance, customization flexibility and integration with Windows Explorer. Unlike other utilities of the kind, it updates size-related information in real-time. Therefore you will no longer have to click on the special "Refresh" button to view changes. Also, you have more controls to tailor the viewing style based on your individual preferences. And the last but not least is its integration with Windows Explorer. While the majority of competitors is designed as standalone utilities with a poor imitation of the Windows Explorer's interface, this utility blends with Explorer and can be accessed simply by clicking on the toolbar icon which is more convenient for the user.

- Real-time size information updating without affecting the OS performance;

Maybe not quite as detailed, but if you just want to add a "folder size" column
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/foldersize.htm
This is FREE

It does have some issues, the sort order of this free one does not take the magnitude into account, so 18MB will sort above 19KB.
