A friend asked this question:
I need a recommendation for a Windows file list application. I've tried a few on my Vista (criminally poor operating system) PC but no luck. I want simply to list the files in specified folders. If dates and file sizes are included, that's a nice bonus.
Thanks
I wasn't sure about the windows app, but I thought he could boot up a live cd and use a terminal command or simple script, perhaps to output to a text file. Am I right, or am I talking nonsense?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Doesn't Windoze still have a version of the old DOS `tree` command? I don't think it shows file size or created/modified/touched, but I'm pretty sure it does the list thing.
What about `dir` (DOS version of `ls`)? I'm almost positive it has command line switches to show size, modified, etc.
As a former Mac (6.1.7) user, I've always preferred DOS to Windoze.

+1
although you could use the live cd, and try and get another convert

Also, if he needs the list of files in a text file, just redirect the output. My DOS is a bit rusty, but I think it would be something like
dir c:\directory_path\*.* -s >> filename.txt
The -s switch tells dir to search recursively.

Brilliant, thanks for your quick responses. I'll pass them on to him. At least I've learnt something if it does not help him!!
