SYMPTOMS
========
If the total size of the files in a folder is 4 GB, Windows Explorer reports the
size as 0 bytes. If the total size is greater than 4 GB, Windows Explorer
reports the total size less 4 GB.
CAUSE
=====
Windows Explorer is limited to reporting a total size of 4 GB in a folder.
Although you can see folders larger than 4 GB, Windows Explorer does not report
the correct total size.
RESOLUTION
==========
To see the total size for files in a folder, use the DIR command at a command
prompt.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
