It appears to be a bug in Windows 7, when you first take a properties 
reading on a folder, it displays the disk space used by the higher level 
folder that it is part of and not the size of the folder you are 
clicking on.  the Adobe folder was 6.2 gigs, the Adobe reader folder was 
in fact 181 megabytes.  apparently to get an accurate reading, you have 
to click on a sub file and then go up to the folder you want.
