where microsoft stores the information of each file?

[ahd292000]

I would like to know where microsoft stores the information of each file in the computer ?

the information that I want to know it is name of the file and the size and the modified date

as you know you can see these information when you change the dispalying style of your file from the toolbar.

Because I want to search a specific folder and stores these information in an excel sheet

can you help me, please?

it's urgent

The information is kept in the NTFS file system. You could use an export program to transfer the data to Excel. One example of such a program is SysExporter, but I'm sure there are others.

will you give me the name of this file (i.e NTFS file system that you mentioned)?

is it accessible and readable or not?

The NTFS file system is not a file, it's a table that's used by the operating system to keep track of where on the disk each file is, what its name is, its size, its creation and modification dates, etc.

Open a command prompt, CD to where the files are, and do a DIR command. You can write DIR >> filename.txt to write the output to a file, and I'm quite sure Excel can import fixed-column-width records.
