LoadFolder( foldername )
{
    int totalsize

    add node

    totalsize += size of files in foldername

    for each sub folders in foldername 
    {
        totalsize += LoadFolder( subfolder )

        update new node text with totalsize

        need to process messages here
    }

    return totalsize
}
then you just need to call LoadFolder( "c:\" ) on you button once
