How can I get the a print out, listing or text saved to file with all
my folders and the folder owners? Command line or some small software
package somewhere which allows me to do this - thanks

You can drag a folder from (say explorer) on to the file. You can put it in
Sendto, type sendto in Start Run, copy the file into the sendto folder, then
right click the folder you want to list, Send To, PrintDetailsAppend.
Sending To simulates a drag and drop.

Then import the file into excel, delete the columns you don't want (as most
are blank for any individual type of file, eg MP3 don't have a Date Picture
Taken and JPEGs don't have a Genre property), sort it on description and
delete the files you don't want. That will leave just the properties and
files you want. This is the most general purpose way I can think of to meet
everyones needs.

A drive is the same as a folder for these purposes.

Attached is a VBScript that generate the shell properties (what you see or
could see in Explorer). It is a 51 column csv. There is about 40 properties
on a standard XP and I've allowed about 10 columns for custom properties
that applications may add. Those whove seen it before this one automatically
finds the desktop rather than editing the script. To use, drop a folder on
it or place in Sendto and send a folder to it. If using the for command
(below) you must run it once whereever you put it so it can be found.

To do sub folders type in a command prompt in the folder that you want to
start in (It also does the parent folder - a quirk of For)
for /r %A in (.) do start "" /w "PrintDetailsAppend" "%~dpA"

It creates a file on the desktop called Folder Property List.txt

Hi David, do you have one that just saves a list of the file names and comments/summary to a file
for editing?

One is meant to open the file in Excel (as it is a tab delimited file) and delete the columns one doesn't want.

You could unloop these two loops. 14 is comments and 0 is name.
For x = 0 to 50
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(vbnull, x) & " (Shell)" & vbtab
Next
ts.write FLDR.self.path &vbcrlf
ts.Write T1 & vbcrlf
T1=""


For Each FldrItem in FldrItems
For x = 0 to 50
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(FldrItem, x) & vbtab
Next
t1=t1 & vbcrlf
ts.Write T1
T1=""
Next

t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(vbnull, 0) & " (Shell)" & vbtab
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(vbnull, 14) & " (Shell)" & vbtab
ts.write FLDR.self.path &vbcrlf
ts.Write T1 & vbcrlf
T1=""


For Each FldrItem in FldrItems
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(FldrItem, 0) & vbtab
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(FldrItem, 14) & vbtab
t1=t1 & vbcrlf
ts.Write T1
T1=""

Just gave it a quick try.
I just created the file and droped the folder onto it and it worked perfectly.
Will set it up properly later. Saved your instructions.
Fantastic. Thank you.
