Greetings
Is there a way to list all files over all drives that were modified yesterday or the day before etc.
i.e. the criterion is the modification date?
dir will do it on a certain drive only
Should I look into windows powershell or something similar?
or is there a utility (exe file) that already does what I'm looking for?
thank you
Another option can be to use the command line. Windows includes the forfiles command that has that option. Look here for some reference:
Find files based on modified time
It could list all files within the specified period, then you can perform other commands on those, or save the list to a text file, for example.
Another search that will do it is SearchMyFiles freeware. It has search by age or between dates for both creation date and modification date. To search multiple drives list them in the search root folder separated by semicolon, like so:
C:\;D:\;F:\
It is designed to find text in files but if you leave the text field blank it will return all files that fit the age criteria. You can get the individual utility or just download NirLauncher that has dozens of small system utilities with a Gui wrapper.
I have used UltraFileSearch for many years. Can search for date ranges down to the second (literally).
