Need help making a list of file names in XP

Zero_Fresh

Ok.. I need to take a folder that has A LOT of excel files in it and make the filenames into one list. I would just type them out if there wasn't over 900 files, but since there is, does anyone know how to take all those names and somehow turn them into a list without using a thrid party proggie. (It's on my work machine adn I am not allowed to install anything)

You can do this from the command prompt.

Open the command prompt, change the directory to the directory containing you excel files, and type is this command.

dir *.xls /b > filelist.txt

A file named filelist.txt will be created with a list of all the excel files.

Fitz... That was exactly the solution.

Unfortunately, I made a phone call to a friend and got the answer before your reply was posted, (I get impatient at work sometimes

) but I wanted to post cofirmation for the validity of the forums.

Thank you.
