Answer 1

1) Download shell.js and node.js (if you don't have it)
2) Go where you download it and create there a file named countFiles.js

var sh = require('shelljs');

var count = 0;
function annotateFolder (folderPath) {
  sh.cd(folderPath);
  var files = sh.ls() || [];

  for (var i=0; i

3) Open the command promt in the shelljs folder (where countFiles.js is) and write node countFiles "DESTINATION_FOLDER" (e.g. node countFiles "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\testFolder")
