Step 1

Press "Win-E" to open Windows Explorer and locate the folder for which you need a file list.

Step 2

Hold the "Shift" key, right-click the folder and select "Open Command Window Here." This only works with folders, not libraries. Libraries point to a specific folder, so select the folder located under the library icon. If the library points to a drive, right-click the drive letter from the folder tree.

Step 3

Type "dir /b > dirlist.txt" without quotes and press "Enter." This creates a list containing file names only. To include file sizes and dates, type "dir > dirlist.txt" instead. To also include files in sub-directories, type "dir /b /s > dirlist.txt" to create a list of files with the full directory structure name, such as "C:\folder\subdirectory\file.txt."

Step 4

Open Microsoft Excel and press "Ctrl-O" to bring up the Open dialog window.

Step 5

Navigate into the folder containing the files. Click the file type drop-down menu and select "Text Files (*.prn,*.txt,*.cvs)." Double-click "dirlist.txt" to open it.

Step 6

Click "Finish" in the Text Import Wizard window to use the default options and import the directory list into Excel.

1. In Outlook 2010, Click the File menu and Select Options.

4. You’ll see a confirmation window about clearing the Auto-Complete list, Click Yes.

Now Outlook Auto-Complete should be completely disabled and any history that was in the Auto-Complete list should be completely erased (if you clicked the clear auto complete button).

Cached Exchange Mode, Outlook 2010 - advantages & disavantages

Have a user that regularly has problems with Outlook locking up.  Will try un-checking "Use Cached Exchange Mode" to see if it helps.


“Cached Exchange Mode” VS  “Online Mode” 
Online Mode works by always using information directly from the server. If you do not have network connectivity, you cannot access any of your email information. When new information is required in Outlook, a request is made to the server and the information is displayed. Mailbox data is only cached as temporary files in your computer’s memory and never gets written to your computer’s file storage.
With Cached Exchange Mode, Outlook stores your email, calendar and contacts information on your computer and updates all this information periodically from the Exchange Server.

In Exchange / Outlook 2010, there are several features that require Cached Exchange Mode:
•Junk E-mail Filter
•Instant Search
•Conversation View (Show Messages from Other Folders)
•Clean Up
•People Pane / Outlook Social Connector
