Hi

I'm not sue if I'm posting to the correct NG, if not please let me know and
where to post if possible..
My problem is I have a folder with over a 1,000 zip files and need to create
a lsit of the files.

Is there some way to do that?

thanks

Daniel

To do it once:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
dir /b /s "c:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\ZipFiles" >
c:\dir.txt {Enter}
notepad c:\dir.txt {Enter}

To do it repeatedly:

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.
