Output Windows Explorer column details to a file

Hi, folks!

I'm trying hard to find at Internet a program or some way to output the informations from column details in Windows Explorer to a file (or to clipboard), cause I use different columns beside the normal information like filename, size, date, depending of the content of my folders. I.E. For a picture folder, I display dimensions of pics; for a mp3 folder, display bitrate and duration; for a video folder, display bitrate, duration and resolution (when available). I already tried a lot of programs, but none extract the informations the way I want (almost all of them just list the default columns, like filename, size and date) and I need a program that extract the columns exactly the way they are displayed in Windows Explorer. By the way, I'm using Windows XP Pro.

Thanks in advance.

In order to display folder sizes as the Windows Explorer column try TotalSize.
You can get it at Moveax homepage .

First save the page as a file.

Then you can open the page in your browser, or in Notepad, and also open a blank Excel spreadsheet.

Now you can pick out the individual pieces you want and put them in the spreadsheet with cut and paste techniques.

Thanks for your help!
How do I save the folder as a file? I'm unable to (the option for save/save as) is disabled when viewing the folder.
