SharePoint Explorer View can be used for great client side file management. Recently someone asked me if it was possible to list all the ASPX pages in a given site collection. Normally I’d run over to server side PowerShell for this. However, we can use Explorer View to map a drive letter too. Steps and screenshots below. Enjoy!

Steps
- Navigate to site homepage
- Open Site Assets
- Open Explorer View
- Navigate “up” one level to site root folder
- Copy URL address
- Open CMD window
- NET USE * {{URL HERE}}
- Z:\
- DIR *.ASPX /S /A /B > FILES.CSV
- Open FILES.CSV with Excel
NOTE – Step #7 above can accept multiple URL formats like:
- http://sharepoint/sites/team
- \\sharepoint\sites\team
- \\sharepoint\sites\team\DavWWWRoot
