My office will be seeing a big change in its GIS section. This section has been operational since the 1980's and has a huge collection of GIS data (i.e., shapefiles, raster files, data, etc) but never been through any inventory. Now it will happen. 

Is there any automated way to extract all the information about the GIS data (i.e., shapefile, arc-info coverage, layer file, \*.mxd, gdb, raster file, and more) from a PC to an Excel file? The information may include date of creation, date last edited, folder or container name, etc.
