I suppose you could potentially use cfexecute to run a dos "dir /s" ... unfortunately the output isn't structured, so then you'd be parsing a text file for the content and that's gonna slow you down again... I don't _think_ the dos comman includes a means of sorting or filtering by modified date, although if it does that might help considerably, then you could write a regex to retreive the file names from the output...
