Kevin,
Hey that's really cool, I've been looking for something just like
that.. Are you taking bugs and suggestions? Here's my list:
BUG: When you are in a directory that has spaces in it, you can't go up (..)
Suggestions:
Option to always show sizes. (it's annoying to have to click it every time)
Create a file menu, put save(I would call it save as) there and some of the
other standard options.
I would save some of these options in an .ini file and then set those in an
Options menu that are checked/not checked.
Maybe create a button bar with the "up-level" icon (see attachment), save
button, etc....

This would be a lot of work but: store sizes in a temp file for quick
retreival (have a button to rescan sizes, and an option to always rescan)
Good work, and keep up the development, I like seeing really useful
win32-gui programs...
I can tell you that I will use this, even as it is, often.
Let us know what your plans are...
