Size of the file missing

Post by nagan »

I made a size sort and found three points , of which one may be valid. Picture attached.

1.The bin file does have a size ranging from 3 to 10 kb and present in the folder, but is not shown in the search bar.

2.The system volume information , opens into the My documents. Perhaps it has to be activated , by showing hidden system folders and permissions. But would it be possible by Everything to convey an alert that the folder will not be accessible normally?

3. System hidden files.Non-issue ofcourse. On allowing the permissions , the file is accessible.

Except that for all the 3 above there definitely is a size for the files.

Show hidden files does need to be enabled to open these folders.
Explorer will open My Documents when it can not open the specified path.

To exclude hidden folders from Everything:
Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Exclude -> Exclude hidden files and folders.

I will consider an alert if show hidden files is disabled in Windows Explorer.

3. System hidden files.Non-issue ofcourse. On allowing the permissions , the file is accessible.
See Re: Files Display With No Date for more information on missing sizes.

Thanks for the suggestions.
