/a causes the dir command to show all files and folders. See learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/…

| Dec 8, 2016 at 5:17 | comment | added | End Antisemitic Hate | @user1167442 Apology accepted. If you press the up arrow for the answer, it reverses the downvote. ;) | |
| Dec 8, 2016 at 3:23 | comment | added | dgo | @DavidPostill - you are correct. I am hang-doggedly ashamed. I will reverse the downvote. That said, I'm still not too keen on this solution - I'd prefer something a bit faster that doesn't require outputting all the other stuff, but it does work. I have erred. - Ahh nuts - it won;t let me reverse my downvote. As soon as I get the reputation to do so, I will reverse it. | |
| Dec 7, 2016 at 17:08 | comment | added | DavidPostill♦ | @user1167442 You clearly haven't tried it. The output includes the exact same size that explorer properties gives you. | |
| Dec 1, 2016 at 11:13 | comment | added | dgo | Show me how the output of your command gives me the total size of the directory. Edit your answer to include it. I'll delete my comments and reverse my down vote. | |
