    Windows folder contents

    Is there anyway to copy a list of files in a folder to a text file or something? rather than indiviualy copy each filename and paste it into eg. notepad...

    :confused:

    this is very sad but...

    open command prompt

    type cd <the directory you want to list> (i.e. cd c:\temp\)

    type dir /b > <the file to create> (i.e. dir /b > c:\temp\output.txt)

    the list will be in c:\temp\output.txt
