SysExporter is a free software from one of my favorite software developers NirSoft that is able to explorer standard list-views, tree-views, list boxes, combo boxes, text-boxes, and HTML controls from almost every application to text, HTML or XML files. I think an example would be great at this point to show you what it can do. When you start SysExporter you get a list of all applications and folders that are currently running on your system.
If you take a look at a folder for instance you see all files and subfolders that are listed in it. You could then export that list of files and folders. Another example would be that you could export all registry keys that are currently displayed in the right pane in Regedit. The possibilities are almost endless. It works fine with Microsoft applications but fails when it comes to Thunderbird or Firefox. Not a big problem I think.
You can export emails and contacts from Outlook and applications like Autoruns, Process Monitor and the like. I think the main use is to get a quick overview that you can either work with or send someone who knows how to interpret the data. The file itself can be run from any location and has a size of only 32K.
If you got something to export try it, it could work out well.

Hi, this is useful – in some respects. You have to find another app that will show the data you want in the manner for the app to show it to you. I was hoping that a simple explorer window of files would show up as the list I could then export. But it doesn’t show it in this way.
I’m looking for a “time-saving” app that will read a folder for all the sub-folder names and allow me to export the folder name list into say Excel, and to then also show each sub-folders contents and then be able to export those file names into Excel (regardless of the file ext).
So I have a “Clients” folder, individual client sub-folder with multiple files (docs, xlm, pdf, video, audio etc) that I want a quick reference to be able to send to colleagues to show what we have and what we haven’t on file and so subsequently what we need to make the client sub-folder complete.
Any ideas?
BTW, the website for this app is a goldmine for other small & useful apps.
Thanks
