Hi

Oh my God. What an akward process...

Here is how to do it:

1. In Windows Explorer, go to the folder with the files.

2. In File Menu select "Command Window as Administartor"

3. Now type at the command line: dir >files.txt

4. Press the Enter key.

Thats all, folks...

Now you have a text file with a list of files. The text file is saved in the folder.

Regards
Jørgen

PS:
Anyone remebering what DOS was... ;-)

Yep but the little applet is quicker and with more options...also make sure the syntax is correct for DOS commands otherwise it will not work wink You know that Jorgen, but perhaps the OP might not wink

Dennis,

I should have taken your suggestion, but I was in a hurry to make a list for a gig. Thank you, it works almost instantly.

Jorgen

I am sure you are right, but this did the job. Thanks.

If you use Firefox (not sure if other browsers do this), if you drag a folder into an open Firefox window, it creates a text list of the contents.

Neat!

You know, a simple 'how do I create a text file of a folder's contents?' Google query offers many different solutions.
