What's the fastest way to output the 'Title' property of all files in a directory in Windows 7? I tried 'dir' in command line but that only prints the filename, not the Title found in the extended properties. Is there a fast way of iterating a directory (preferably via commandline or batch)?

Probably can be done using PowerShell in Windows7, but have no clue how to get it done though....msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/… – Moab Feb 27 '12 at 3:50
Sounds similar to a question I had awhile ago. I'll see if I can dig it up. – Iszi Feb 27 '12 at 4:20

Check out this link where James O'Neill creates a powershell script to get at any of the extended properties. He uses it to get at all the camera properties stored in a file, but Title is one of them.
