Used Bytes per Directory

[Michael Ritter]

Is there a more efficient way to get the
byte size of any given directory than
iterating all files with findfirstfile
and findnextfile and totaling the file
sizes? What I would like to determine is
the byte size of all files in a dir., used
bytes by those files, and determine after
that the cluster waste.

This is my first post to this forum although
I am no stranger to it. It is a truly invaluable
resource and I would like to express my gratitude
to all the professionals who share their knowledge.
I would feel fortunate to begin sharing with this
group what I can.

TIA

Sorry I can't offer better news on your first post, but there is no more efficient way of doing that.

99,99% sure that there is no similar function.
1) I didn't saw examples (with GetDiskFreeSpaceEx - a lot).
2) I know one very good file manager (FAR).
It's visible that this program exactly calculates.
The same about Explorer (test directories on slowly devices - DVD, CD, FDD)
