software

I would like to print out a list of all the files in some of my
document directories e.g. All the songs in My Music.
Is it possible to copy the contents of a directory into a worksheet for
editing and printing?
If not, does anyone know of any software that will do the job for me?

This is one of those simple dos jobs Explorer makes difficult -- redirect
the file directory to a text file then open it in Excel for whatever further
processing you want.

[start], [run] to bring up the windows run box
command [enter] for a dos prompt
cd quot;c:\my documents\my musicquot; (or wherever your subdirectory is; need
quot; if there are spaces)
dir *.* gt; filelisting.txt
exit (to close dos window)
star Excel and open open c:\my documents\my music\filelist.txt for whatever
further processing you want

Thanks guys. I went with Jim Cone's 'List Files' add-in and it does the
job perfectly.
