    It seems that a big oversight (?) in Windows Explorer is that a lot of folder properties are not available as fields. I'd like to be able to have such properties be able to be displayed (in the Details View mode). It seems that the apps out there like FreeCommander offer the same properties (big help!). Any ideas?

      Total Commander. The one and unique. All derived PutANameHereCommander are only mere clones.

        right-click on the column header display in the details view in Windows Explorer and choose the fields you want to display.

              File Count and Total Size don't work for me. Total Size displays the total drive space used and File Count is just empty.

                I don't want to have to right-click on every folder and write down the value in a spreadsheet. I'd like for the window to just show it.

                    Then you need to explore the column properties as someone suggest above, or write your own Explorer extension or stand alone application.

                      This is why I have asked if anyone knew a good freeware app to do this. Of course, I could roll my own in WinForms, but what would be the point if an app that does it is COTS?

                        Well I was just offering an alternative suggestion. It's up to you which you choose.
