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!!

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.

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.

although you could use the live cd, and try and get another convert :)

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 :cool:
