It is quite easy to copy the names of a list of files in a forlder (regardless of the number of files) to a text file. One may require it for various purposes. Here are the steps involved:
- Open a command prompt. That is, go to Start, select Run and then type cmd.
- In the command prompt window, navigate to the directory where your files are stored. It will be easier if you copy the files beforehand to a folder in C Drive.
- Enter this command: dir > output_file_name. output_file_name is the name of the text file in which you want the list. Eg. dir.txt
- Press Enter
This will create a new text file called dir.txt in the same directory as your list of files. You can specify in the path where you want the text file to be stored.
