It may be set to show icons only. If your files are shown as icons only, do the following:
In your menu bar, click on "View", "Details", then the files will be listed by name and will also have file sizes. Then you'll know if a file is > 10 MB or not.
An altenative: you may have an icon at the top in the icon bar, which would be under the regular menu bar. There would be a square icon with little dots in it - click on the drop arrow and select "details".
Another alternative would be to try to run File Manager - click on "Start", then "Run", then type in "winfile" and hit enter.
Duh, I forget about that, Bluzerick, because I am anti-mouse. As much as possible, I avoid using a mouse -- I can navigate a computer much, much faster without a mouse than most people can with.
Actually, if you use the shift or control key to select multiple files, it will show you the total size. View properties of a folder, and it will show you the size of the entire folder.

Open up the "My Documents" folder.

Okay then.
What *do* you have in the View menu?

Right-click the file in question and select Properties.

Of course, that only works on one file at a time.

File Manager -- now there is an app that I haven't heard about in a long time.
