Q: How can I publish the contents of a directory automatically?

What I want to do has 2 parts:

1) Automatically create and update a document which lists the FOLDERS on a hard drive

2) Automatically have that document publish to Google Documents or something similar (public)

END RESULT: I want to let anyone in the world know what folders are on one of my hard drives, automatically, updated at least once a day, without having to touch it. Does not need to list the individual files, just the folders. Maybe someone has an easy or elegent solution? Running Win7 Home Premium.

    Here’s what worked: Task Scheduler running the following .BAT, and sending it to my DropBox public folder (THANKS Uber Geek!!!)

    @echo off
    time /t > time.txt
    date /t > date.txt
    copy time.txt+date.txt timedate.txt
    del time.txt
    del date.txt
    dir D:\Folder1 /b /o-d > list1.txt
    dir F:\Folder2 /b /o-d > list2.txt
    copy timedate.txt+list1.txt+list2.txt C:\DropBoxFolder
    del list*.txt
    del timedate.txt
    exit
