Windows File Custom Properties list utility 1

[ShaggyPE]

Anybody have a utility that can generate a list of which files (in a given directory) do not have a certain custom property?
Example:
I have a custom property called SPOC_NR and want to know which files in the directory are missing this property.

I have zero capability to write the utility myself. It is possible for me to write (moreso hack/slash) a macro within the native application (SolidWorks mechanical design software) that will do what I want, but this will be significantly slower because it will open each file and then look for the property. Also, why re-invent the wheel. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

handleman,
Thanks again for the help. I have attempted to run your SW macro and I get a runtime error 429. When I go in and debug, the hi-lited line is regarding the DSO-thingy. Your zip file contained the .swp file and the .dll. Do I need to put the .dll somewhere special?

Thanks again.

You have to put the DLL file somewhere and then tell Windows where it is. To do that, go to Start->Run and enter:

regsvr32 "C:\Whatever\The\path is\to where\you\put\it"

Do you have a recommendation as to where I should put it? Should I just leave it in my folder with all of my SolidWorks Macros? Or should I put it in some windows system type folder?

Thanks again.
