Using Excel 2003; I have to find all the folders on our net that have not been accessed in last year. Windows has a search for folders and a advanced search that lets pick dates and weather it was modified or accessed. That will put all the folders in my Windows Explorer. If I do a search for all folders on the network drive I should get back all folders, what I need to do is figure out how to get the names of those folders into excel....
Then I do another search for all folders that have been accessed in last year, I extract those names into excel. Put the two side by side, highlight the range, insert a duplicate formula and anything not a duplicate should be a folder that has not been accessed and those are the folders that I should delete, but I won't actually delete them I think I will move them to Big, Big external hard drive and wait and see who is effected if nothing happens then delete them..... but the question here is:
How do I get the names of the folders into Excel? or if someone has better idea of how to do what I was tasked with other wise I am going to have to go folder by folder and there are thousands of them.
