Crayford Manor House File Lister creates a list with all selected files from a specified directory, along with several file properties. It doesn't require installation and contains just a couple of options.

Since the software tool is wrapped in a portable package, you can save its executable file in any part of the hard disk and just click it to launch Crayford Manor House File Lister. Another possibility is to keep it stored on a USB flash disk, in order to directly run it on any computer easily. More importantly, it doesn't make any changes to your Windows registry, unlike most installers.

The GUI is based on a small window that contains a file browser, enabling you to select a drive and navigate its directories to view containing files. The new list is immediately generated as soon as you click the "Ok"" button. Before doing so, it's necessary to select one or more files from the list, otherwise the list returns empty values.

This new file is created in the same location as Crayford Manor House File Lister's executable file and has the name "list". It's not possible to modify the output directory or file name, and its data is overwritten every time you create a new list. It has the comma-delimited CSV format and includes the full paths and timestamps of the files (year, month, day, hour, minute, second).

Unsurprisingly, the utility had minimal impact on computer performance in our tests. It swiftly created the lists and showed accurate file information. On the other hand, the rules about how to use Crayford Manor House File Lister aren't explained anywhere (it doesn't even display a notification message after creating the file list).

Although it doesn't integrate richer options and configuration settings, Crayford Manor House File Lister offers a simple solution for generating file lists with full paths and timestamps.
