Vista query - free space on USB disks

    Just wondering if there's a way to display the free space on a USB memory stick when you open my computer.
    It's getting fairly annoying having to right click on it and go to properties every time I want to check how much space I have left...

    (see the attached file for what I mean - I want to have the T: drive displaying free space in the same way as E: and F: if possible)

    Would like to know this myself. Was going to post a thread asking the same thing later on but you beat me to it.

    I've never been able to figure out the logic there, this has been missing in windows since day 1.

    Hard drives are there all the time so you might remember how much space you have on the. Removable drives are the ones you want to know how much space is on .

    There might be an applet
    or maybe a batch file and link to autorun.inf so when you pop in the drive it says how much space is on it.

    Now that you mention it, I could swear that I spotted a sidebar plugin that displays free space... It's just a shame that I loathe the sidebar in Vista:p
