How to find the size of a file

D) Enter the Initial size (minimal) you want in MB (1024 MB = 1 GB) for the paging file on the selected drive. (see screenshot below step 6F) (see screenshot below step 6F) E) Enter the Maximum size you want in MB (1024 MB = 1 GB) for the paging file on the selected drive. This problem is very prominent with printers that support higher resolutions. The size of the raster data increases by four times if the dots-per-inch (dpi) in the file increases by two times. For example, a.pdf file of 1 megabyte (MB) may generate an EMF spool file of 500 MB.

In Windows, we can use dir command to get the file size.

But there is no option/switch to print only the file size.

Get size for all the files in a directory

Dir command accepts wild cards. We can use ‘*” to get the file sizes for all the files in a directory.

We can also get size for files of certain type. For example, to get file size for mp3 files, we can run the command ‘dir *.mp3‘.

The above command prints file modified time also. To print only the file name and size we can run the below command from a batch file.

Save the above commands to a text file, say filesize.bat, and run it from command prompt.

Get directory size

There’s no Windows built in command to find directory size. But there is a tool called diruse.exe which can be used to get folder size. This tool is part of XP support tools. This command can be used to get directory size. This command’s syntax is given below.

As you can see in the above example, diruse prints the directory size in bytes and it also prints the number of files in the directory(it counts the number of files in the sub folders also)

To get the directory size in mega bytes we can add /M switch.

Though the tool is intended for XP and Server 2003, I have observed that it works on Windows 7 also. The above examples were indeed from a Windows 7 computer.
