This one is/was freeware and it works pretty well for me.

On 5/19/2003 at 2:40 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as Robert
Carneal was rumoured to have uttered....
| I will take a stab at this as long as you
| understand I have not personally
| tried this myself.
|
| If you are a music aficionado, would CD Trustee work? Not
| free, it costs
| $39.95, but it makes jewel case labels by printing the names
| of songs. The
| URL for this is:
| http://www.base40.com/
|
| You are probably like me in that I wanted a good way to
| catalog all the
| files, data, DVDs, etc., in one master catalog, and be able to
| search that
| in a variety of ways.
|
|
| I can mathematically program in Excel, but something like this
| requires
| reading folders, directories, +and+ keeping the paths straight
| for each
| filename, beyond my skills for Excel. Some filenames have the
| hidden
| attribute set, and your husband would need to find those
| anyway. I am not
| sure how that would be done in Excel.
|
| I could do this in basic and make it an executable. I have
| seven projects
| going at the moment so it would have to be a Fall project.
|
| A suggestion: Could you open a Window Dos and type out a file
| of all the
| filenames? Just get the filenames and save it to a file and
| print that.
| Let's assume "F" is your CD drive.
|
| Open a window dos box. Type in "F:" and press return. Now type
| in DIR/b >
| c:cdnames.txt. That "b" stands for BARE mode. You will get
| filenames ONLY.
| It will be save to a file called cdnames.txt. You can print
| that in Word,
| WordPerfect, Ami Pro, etc., and punch 3-ring holes in and save
| that. I did
| that for a while. That saved a lot of hand writing.
|
| Hm, would bribing your husband work?
