The Used Files report provides a manageable way to find out the names of all files that are used in your project. At the top level (All Folders), it displays an alphabetized list of everything — starting at the root and working its way down to all your custom folders (arranged alphabetically).
The root level includes such items as HTML files that are not located in custom folders and project source files. The custom folders include the names of HTML topics that you've saved in them.
This report can help you:
Manage files: If you check your projects in and out of a document management program such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, this report indicates what files you need to add to your SourceSafe projects. If you copy your project files to a server or tape backup drive, you can use this list as a basis for what files to copy.
Recover files: If you accidentally remove files that you need, this list indicates the names of files used in your project so you can recover the ones that are missing from SourceSafe, a server or backup tape.
Do "housecleaning": Remove files you no longer need from the Windows Explorer and from your document management program. Keeping your disk free of clutter will improve the performance of your system. It will also greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to check your projects in and out of your document management program or copy them on servers and tape backup drives.
Share flies: This report is an inventory of everything used in a project. You'll know exactly where to get files from and where to copy them to by reviewing the files included in this report.
You can sort the information displayed in this report by file name or by file type. In addition, you can view the contents of an individual folder by selecting it from the Folder list.
