Listing Folder Contents It’s
quite easy to use Windows Explorer to see files and subfolders inside any
particular folder but Explorer doesn’t provide an easy way to print a list if
you want a text record of what you discover.
You can use the “dir” command in a console window but that takes a bit
of time and the output is not real easy to read. Both these scripts put items in the Windows
Explorer shortcut (“context”) menu for when you right click a folder. The items will appear in the ‘SendTo>’ fly
out menu from the context menu. Choosing
“Log Folder Contents” will provide a list of files, subfolders, and files
within subfolders. “Log Shortcuts” will
provide a list of shortcuts (lnk files) found in the folder, reveal the target
for each and confirm that the target file or folder is still present. Both of the installation scripts look for the
folder “Yandl_Scripts” in the Windows folder and create it if it isn’t present;
this is the location where the actual working script is placed. Then shortcuts to this working script are
placed in the ‘SendTo’ folder.
