PC Directory list

[goldstar0011]

Anyone know a way or program that will print to a text or excel file the directories and files of a folder?

lol yep
in start, run type:

cmd /c dir /b c:\pathtolist\*.* >>C:\textfile.txt

or, if you want to include the subdirectories too!

cmd /c dir /b /s c:\pathtolist\*.* >>C:\textfile.txt

or you make a batch file:

open notepad and save the blank file as "list.bat" or whatever, makeing sure the extension is .bat tho.

in the file write:

@echo off
dir /b [I](add /s for subdirectories here!)[/I] c:\pathtolist\*.* >>C:\textfile.txt
cls
exit
