A little help with windows??? XP to be precise...

Well this may sound stupid I guess... but I'll ask this anyway.

is there any way to make windows show the size of a file in MB not in KB while a folder is set to detail view? must be some registry entry I guess but I sure as hell can't find it? any ideas guys?

    I don't think there is a way.

    but if you want to think it as MB:

    1,000KB is about 1MB (1,024KB = 1MB to be exact)

    if you hover your mouse pointer over the file you want to know the size of, it shows it in MB in windows explorer, well it does for me and i have XP Home SP2.

    Obviously your file needs to have at least 1,024KB which equals 1 MB for this to work
