It appears that all I am getting is the size of the file in that directory but not in the subfolders. I have subfolders in the misc directory that I would like to include in the count. &nbsp;I am using your script like that:<br />
@echo off<br />
cd \documents and settings\misc<br />
for /f &quot;tokens=3&quot; %%a in ('dir /-c ^| find &quot;File(s)&quot;') do set sizeofdir=%%a<br />
echo Size of dir %cd% is %sizeofdir%<br />
<br />
Thanks
</div>

Batch - size of directory question.

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
