Default Local file size 4>gb bug

Effects all builds 849 and below.

For the life of me I can't seem to find the original thread where a user reported a problem where file sizes larger than 4gb were not displayed correctly in the local view.

I did some research and I discovered an unusual problem with the windows API SHGetDataFromIDList which used to retrieve the file size & date. I'm not sure if all windows OS's have this bug or if it's just my version of the shell object control.

To work around the problem I now check to see if the file size = MAX_DWORD if it does then I use an alternative method to get the file size. This seems to work well rather well.

This problem will be addressed in build 850.
