exact file size in 2k/XP

[hawkman2]

in NT you could use winfile to determine exact file size. I know we can pull winfile over to our 2k/xp pcs but that just doesnt seem right. There has to be a way to do this in explorer right?

/ps I suppose we could also do it in the dos shell but again, there should be a way to do this explorer.

R-click on the file and select Properties. I think that does it.

Either that or just go to <view> then <details>.

Yep, that will do it. It will give you the size of the file (exact) and the size on disk (size on disk because sometimes a file will only take up part of a cluster (say 2k if you're running 4k clusters), but it has to allocate a whole cluster because it can't allocate a fractional cluster.... if it could just imagine how slow things would get when everything became fragmented).
