Printing or Exporting Windows Explorer View

Is there a way to export a Windows Explorer View in csv format so that I can

import it into excel.

 

I have a very extensive set of folders that I need to analyze for archiving

purposes so need the folder name, size and last modified dates.

Maybe use dir command?

 

Open command prompt

Change to the folder you want to list

Type "dir > files.txt"

Open files.txt in Notepad.exe, delete header and footer information, and all

directory entries so it only shows files, save it.

Open Excel, go to File --> Open, change Files of Type to Text Files

Browse to the files.txt file and select Open

Follow the onscreen instructions for fixed width data type, lines breaks,

etc...

You might try GROUPS.google.com and search in Microsoft's VBscript newsgroup

for solution, and maybe post there.
