I don't know of a way to cut and paste them but just do a google search of
"file lister" or "directory lister", there are plenty of free apps that will
do what you want.

Hi Terry,
HOW TO: Add "Print Directory" Feature for Folders in Windows XP [Q321379]
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379
Or, startr/run cmd, change to the folder you want to be in, then run "dir>
<filename>.txt" to create a text file listing of the files and folder in
that directory. Add the /s switch if you want it to include sublistings
within the folders.

Here are three ways:
1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command
dir [drive:folder] > prn
If that doesn't work, your printer may not be connected to prn.
In that case issue this command instead:
dir [drive:folder] > c:\tempfilename (you can use any name and
put it in any folder you want)
Then open notepad, open tempfilename, and print it from there.
2. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379
and follow the instructions there.
3. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware
utilities that can do this.

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR
command (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text
file using NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.

Have you actually tried this? It would work... one item at a time.
For creating text lists of directories, I like a free third party program
called Directory Printer. Available here:

........actually tried this?
yes....i use this method everyday 30-40+ times for
individual filenames as needed. no need for groups or
full directory list ...yet...soon maybe.
also ....i use keyboard for scrolling (pageup/pagedown).

So your goal is one file name at a time? Works great for that. Am a big
keyboard fan too.
