Karenware dirprnt - SHA1 or just MD5 hash - to a file then use excel (or a database facility) to sort and compare the new list(s) against the old list on the hash, for differences in name/date with the same hash and then on filename for changes in the hash value after generating the report(s) ( sort the entries as required ), replace/update the old list with the new one
