Windows 10: Is there a way to get a list of all the folders that are open in Windows Explorer using...

Is there a way to get a list of all the folders that are open in Windows Explorer using vbscript or a DOS command?

And while we are at it, Is there a way using vbscript or a DOS command, to get a list of all:

1. The .doc? files that are open?
2. The .pdf files that are open?

I just need to know how to get the data; I can make a list from the data.


Any tips about finding out where I could get help in answering these questions would be much appreciated.


Thanks,

Marc

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
