ADSList

ADSList analyzes one or more directories and lists any alternate data streams (aka as "hidden streams") that are associated with a file. When an alternate data stream is found, the name of the stream is displayed along with the regular file the stream is associated with. The output will also show a summary that lists:

•	the number of files analyzed

•	the number of files that have an alternate data stream associated with them

•	the number of alternate data streams that have been found

•	the elapsed time

The main purpose of adslist.exe is to give a System Administrator a command-line utility that can be run/scheduled on a regular basis to reveal any hidden streams on a server or workstation.

ADSList only works on NTFS volumes, since alternate data streams are only supported on the NTFS file system.

Return Code (%ERRORLEVEL%)

ADSList returns 0 when no alternate data streams have been found, and returns 1 if at least one alternate data stream has been found.
