need to extract (copy) the subject field

[gloria]

I need to extract (copy) the subject field from email
folders and the name field from directories or file
folders. I need to use this information so
that I can write about the files in a readme file, etc.

I know how to do this in Unix shell scripts but I do not
know how to do it on Microsoft products. I know how to do
a screen capture of the info but then I can't manipulate
the information without OCR software etc. That's a waste
of time.

TIA,
Gloria
