Display the number of items in folders?

Hi guys. I wonder if there's any1 here that can help me. I've been searching for two weeks already for an add-on/application for wind*s explorer that can show me the number of items in folders when i view my folders in icon view, just like a mac. I'm sure it's not impossible, but is there sumthing like that around? If anybody would be so kind as to point somthing out bout this, i would realy appreciate it.

Thank you guys in advance.

Do you mean go to the View menu and tick the Status bar ?

Do you mean being able to view the number of files in a folder while hovering the mouse over the folder, or what? If so, I've been wanting to do the same thing. I'm not sure, but maybe looking into the "desktop.ini" file could provide useful?

That comes by default in XP O_O

Are you serious? So when I'm looking at a list of folders in explorer, I should be able to hover over a folder and see the amount of files inside?

I'm sure there was a program where you could modify your tooltips to show much more info than default XP explorer. Can't remember what it was called though....
