Vista: showing space used in a directory?

[rh71]

In XP when navigating folders (my computer), at the bottom was a status bar showing how much space was being used by the files (if you didn't have anything selected).

How do I get Vista to do the same? Right now I have to ctrl-a (select all) for it to show. I can't get it to show without selecting anything. Even choosing a non-Vista theme doesn't work.

^ nobody took advantage of this feature huh? I found it useful when browsing around directories (so you don't have to hit ctrl-a every time). Wonder why Vista took it out.
