[Matt Silberstein]

I would like to get a listing of the "properties" (that is, the stuff
you get when you right click and ask for properties) of one or more
folders/files. Either a straight text or a more complex file
structure, I don't care. I tried looking for this, but I could not
come up with keywords that made it differ from about a billion
completely different questions. (Let's see, keywords: windows, folder,
properties, that should bring up one or two pages. Sheesh. Only 1.8
million.)

TIA.

All in all, if I could be any animal, I would want to be
a duck or a goose. They can fly, walk, and swim. Plus,
there there is a certain satisfaction knowing that at the
end of your life you will taste good with an orange sauce
or, in the case of a goose, a chestnut stuffing.

For creation date & time, size and long file name:

Open the Command prompt, type the DIR (directory) command redirected to
a text file.

something like this:

dir "C:\Documents and Settings\Windows Username\My Documents" > list.txt



Yor can open the resulting file with your choice of Windows Notepad,
Windows Wordpad, Microdoft Works Word Processor, Microsoft Works, Open
Office or any of MANY other applications.

I wanted things like folder size/number of files, which includes
subfolders. I suppose I can build something to do that, but I was
hoping for something simple.

Take a look at Karenware:

Look up the utility (free) "Directory Printer". It will do all you want and
save it to a text file.

Neat stuff. Not directly what I wanted, but I can make it work.
Thanks.
