I use a simpel DOS command to do this.
Go to DOS via Start -> Run -> Command (or MS-DOS shortcut) then change to=
the
directory I want.
Then type the DOS command:
dir *.* /o > files.txt
Here's how that breaks down:
"dir" lists the contents of the directory you're in
"*.*" means all files (you could say like "*.jpg" e.g. instead)
"/o" (oh) means to output the list in order
"> files.txt" means to redirect the output to a file called "files.txt"
instead of to the screen
The result is a simple text file in that same directory called files.txt =
which
you can edit any send.
Enjoy!
