ScriptLister.hta Application

M. Gallant 07/02/2002

ScriptLister.hta is an HTML application using VBScript to list all script files within folders dragged onto the ScriptLister.hta icon, or selected from the file dialog within the application. Script types are
html, htm, xml, asp, bat, wsf, hta, vbs, js
Non-script file can optionally be listed as well. Folders can optionally be fully recursively searched. The file path and size is also displayed. Maximum number of listed items (folders and files) is set at 250, but can be changed with the MaxFiles dropdown selection. Checkboxes show which script file-types will be displayed. To filter script types, uncheck boxes and click the Refresh button. Click any file text line and it opens immediately with the selected text Viewer, or add your own textviewer by modifying the source code. Ctrl+Click any listed file text and the file's context menu Properties panel is immediately launched.
[Note: The Select Folder button, and Properties features only work on win32 systems with shell32.dll version 4.71 or higher. The application first detects the OS, and if Win9x, ME or NT4, checks the shell32.dll version. If version < 4.71 the button and Properties features are disabled (i.e. Active Desktop not configured)]

To Use:
Download the ScriptLister.hta application, and run directly, or save to your desktop (with file extension .hta). If this is the first time you have run ScriptLister.hta, you will be prompted with a dialog to configure the .hta file type dropHandler which adds an extra registry setting enabling drag & drop of files/folder onto any .hta file. After this is done, restart ScriptLister.hta. (in some cases you may need to restart Windows for the change to take effect).
