Question
By default, SWV does not obscure its fslrdr directory, so it is displayed to the user as a normal hidden directory.  When the HideRedirectAreas DWORD is created and set to 1, the fslrdr folder is no longer visible to the user.  How can information be obtained for this directory in this scenario?

Answer

The simplest method of achieving this is via the following DIR command:  dir C:\fslrdr /a /s > c:\fslrdr.txt

This command will provide a list of all files in fslrdr folder and its subdirectories, as well as listing the total size in bytes of all files it listed at the end of its output.
