is there a way to generate a list of file names in a folder to a spread sheet
such as excel or a text editor?
 
in a command window you can use

dir "directory you want to list" > "directory and file name to save the
list"

if you use quotes you can read directories with spaces
there are switches to format the output

here's an example

dir "c:\download files\*.mp3" /b > "c:\data\report.txt"

there are some freeware programmes available too but that may help

Yes. I guess I could do a Dir and pipe it into a file (but with all of the
directory information in a difficult to use format).

Thanks for the replies. Back to my initial question, is there not a file mgr
that can report and continue bad files when copying?
thanks.
