The Lad from Lea

I have several cds with many photos on each (mostly jpgs). I wish to have a
"Table of Contents" in each cd without the laborious task of typing each name
individually. I wish to copy the list of file names which appears when I load
a cd in the drive. Using "copy" copies the whole file (ie the photo) not just
the file name. Using "Prt Scr" and pasting only gives a small part of the
list each time, (producing almost unreadable output), which then needs
scanning and then correcting, which takes as long as typing the whole thing!
How do I copy just the list of names, please?

I have a suggestion for this. If you have Excel, download the ASAP Utilities
add-in. In addition to the fact that it contains some really awesome
functions, it can also create a list of files in a folder. It puts them in
an Excel spreadsheet that you could import or copy into your TOC. (My
husband has been using this ass-in for several years. I've only recently
started using it and I don't know why I waited so long!)
