Living Room / Re: Script that would list the file name and its owner of a file inside each folder
« on: June 30, 2023, 09:41 PM »
i might not be waiting long enough  This mapped resource is known to be Very Slow.  WHen i watch the file.txt being created it stays at 0KB even after 5 minutes.  But the one i did earlier, i got tired of waiting and opened it while apparently it was still running.  That file now shows 35kb. 
This one finally finished at 42kb and I noticed it is only showing data for the first subdirectory and the folders in it.  There should be several more.  I need to try running this with some limiters such as dir B* or C* specified.,  All it gets now is the A* folders and subfolders.
Sigh :huh:  was supposed toi be a holiday weekend  :*(    :mad:

ANYWAY  Thanks 100% for the tip!  the process works .  I just need to be patient. :up:

X16WDA:  Thanks!
I always forget the easy ways.  :huh:   Your setup does work.  For some reason, i cant seem to get it to progress through all folders before getting stuck.  Probably due to the folders being on a network resource.  If i can get it to go through each folder in the directory and add the one filename and its ower to the text file it would be perfect... I tried using tthis and it works as long as i am inside the folder that holds the file.  But for some reason, when i start in the main directory and add the /s  as ..  (dir *.* /s/q >c:\lists\owner.txt )  so that it steps through all the subdirectories and puts the owners.txt into a local folder where I have write permission , it seems to get stuck.  Using the /q switch does give the owner info i needed ,  Now if i can just get the command to iterate through all 200 subdirectories....

Living Room / Script that would list the file name and its owner of a file inside each folder
« on: June 29, 2023, 02:00 PM »
I tried searching for this and did run across a few answers that would work in Linux using Sodu but unfortunately I need the same option for Windows. 
At the office, there is a Network folder that is used for special purposes and it contains about 200 subfolders with each of them containing a single file.  I am trying to solve a riddle that would require knowing the owners of the single file stored in each subfolder.  There are two possible owners for the files.  The answer to that question might tell me if the reason for a recent problem what i think it is, or not.
What I need is a list showing each subfolder on the network drive along with the name of the owner(s) of the single file inside each subfolder.  The single file in those folders has the same name so the list has to show the name of the each subfolder or I wont be able to tell them apart.
I was doing this manually and realized there had to be a better way :)  And I knew exactly where to look for an answer :) 
Thanks for pointers

General Software Discussion / a program to allow use of the optional tags displayed by windows explorer
« on: January 26, 2021, 05:37 PM »
I have probably looked at close to a dozen but none of them are as simple as they should be and most don't seem to work as expected if at all. 

When you open windows explorer, you are provided the option of adding numerous columns with close to a hundred assorted titles ranging from City, State,  Zip to URL and many more.  However, I cannot find anything that will allow me to Use these columns by adding that information to a file's metadata.  Right click on any file and you will find various data fields on most but i can't find an editor to allow me to add any new fields to any of them.

If the file is an Image file is the only exception where there are plenty of "exif editors" out there to change all kinds of things related to the image.

I would love to be able to add a few of those tags to some folders as it would be a terrific help if i need to sort the folders into a different order than simple alphabetic by the name in the Name column.  Even though i can add the columns where the data would be displayed i have no way to enter the data that would be displayed there.  No way to use them as a preference to sort the display by or anything else.

This is true for simple files such a a text file.   Is there a utility out there to allow something like this to be done?   Especially one that works as it should such as right click the file or folder to display the current meta data tags  showing what is in them and allow editing that content or even better adding new metadata tags for things like URL that could store the link where the file came from?

If so, where can i find such a utility.  Any info greatly appreciated.

General Software Discussion / Re: names displayed format in outlook 2019 varying format
« on: December 23, 2020, 09:21 PM »
Thanks for the links, Shades!   The real issue is all the email from Spoofer's who use their real email address and only set the display name to show as one of the Internal Users. 
I have already installed the official MS rule in the Exchange Server location that is supposed to be able to block senders when their external address does not match the display name address.  That rule used to work fine and  maybe still does on some email but a lot of it still gets through.  The users can see the sender is not "Real" but only AFTER they have clicked on "reply" will Outlook display where you are actually replying to is an address like ::
 <I-AM_Junk @ Spam.com>. 
The "mis" information is there in the email header but it the users cant "see" it until they attempt to reply to it.   I have seen many people ask for ways to get this to show up > Before < people have already gone that far but no one I have seen has posted any way around that yet.
