I found out about  a  most useful tool today that can be used if you want to list the files in a folder and put them in a spreadsheet or something, when auditing websites. I’ve just done this for a folder with over 30,000 files in and it was super quick.

Go to Start > run > cmd

In the command prompt type

dir/a/b  c:\foldername > c:\temp.txt

This creates a txt file called temp the root of your c drive and lists all the files in the specifed file.
