Does anyone know a quick method to count the total number of files on a logical drive? It seems that this would be a simple task, but short of doing a dir command on a drive and waiting for the list to scroll through, I haven't found any useful tools.

Thanks,
Ron

wc.exe (RK)

dir /b \SERVERSHAREDIRECTORY |wc -l

This command will produce only a count.
