How to print directory of files with authors

[kchhour98]

My company is trying to clean up their network drive and they have asked me to do it. The problem is that we have a common drive with a lot of documents in it. I can see who the owner/author is by right click on the file, properties then summary. But that's doing it one at a time, is there a way to print out a list of all the files in that common directory showing each file who the author/owner of that file? Please help...

I did this using Windows 2000. I'm pretty sure it's not available in NT.

1. Open Explorer or Double click My Computer
2. Navigate to the Folder with all the Documents in it
3. Change the Explorer view to Detailed (Click View-->Details)
4. Now click View-->Choose Columns...
5. Author should be one of your options to check.

This should work on any drive including Network drives. Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to print it. But you could sort all the documents by author this way.

Hope that helps!!

To print a directory make a batch (.bat) file and put it in the "send to" folder. This folder is in a diferent location depending on the OS, in W2K it is in documents and settings\"username". The batch file should contain the following commands:

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\dir.txt"
notepad /p "%temp%\dir.txt"

Let me know if you have any problems
