I want to know how much memory that the files in a directory (and all recursive subdirectories) are using. It is the "size on disk" I need to know and there are windows "junctions" in the directory that needs to be handled to avoid cyclic graphs.
How do I do this? Is there some Windows function that can help me out here?
You could use the output of dir /v /s and process it.
I don't know of any function way to do it.

Take a look at Win32 API, FindFirstFile and FindNextFile. If you still have problems with the Win32 API. Post again on the Windows forum and I will answer your question.
Great, I shall look in to it in awhile.
