Then I tried hack number 21 to generate folder and file lists. I followed the directions exactly as shown in the hack and it worked perfectly except for one problem -- the resulting filelist.txt file has a zero file length and is completely empty. I double checked everything and tried it on different folders and drives with the same zero result.

The chapter on the registry was interesting and somewhat helpful but final judgement will have to rest until I have time to try some of the other hacks.
