You can use the dir command and send the output to a text file.

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK or hit your Enter key.

Change Directory to the folder that you want.

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\blahblah

Hit your Enter key.

Type or paste the following command and hit Enter.

dir /b /o:ng > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Directory.txt"

Directory.txt will be created on your Desktop.

Without Changing Directory.

Open a command prompt and type or paste the following command and hit Enter
after changing the path in the command to the folder that you want.

dir "C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\blahblah" /b
/n>"%userprofile%\Desktop\dirlist.txt"

The line wrapped. There should be one space between /b and /n.

Directory.txt will be created on your Desktop.

/b Uses bare format, no date, time or size listed.

/o:ng O list by files in sorted order. N alphabetic by name. G groups
directories first.

Type: cd /? for Help on the cd command.

Type: dir /? for Help on the dir command.

mcw1902 <mcw1902@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have just added 15000 + files to a folder & would like to be able to
make a list of them that I can send via email to friends. I'm hoping I
don't have to type them all in individually.
Is there a way of copying the file names into a list?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you, Martin.
