How can I create a list of folders in WORD without retyping them all?

Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\User\UserNAME\Images\.

Right click CLIENT ALBUMS with the shift key pressed (Shift + Right Mouse Click) and choose Open command window here.

At the command prompt type dir /b > list.txt.

That will create a txt file with the names of all of your files.

Double click the list.txt file (It should open in Notepad). Select all of the text and use Edit menu, Copy. Open the file you with to copy the information to and use Edit menu, Paste to enter the data.

Note: when you created the list, you also created a file called list.txt, and THAT FILE will be listed to. You may wish to edit the name of that file out of your list.

Hope this helps. Best Wishes,

Put speachmarks aropund your folder path. Ie: dir /b "C:\Users\MYNAME\My Pictures\CLIENT ALBUMS\SMITH"

Windows cmd doesnt like spaces :)

Use the free program FileDir - it's portable and very useful .

Well, I did say I didn't know 'stuff'. Today I found the 'lists' several of them as I kept trying to create them. I didn't realize it would file them automatically. Now all I have to do is remember which of your suggestions worked for me. Thanks everyone.

If there are other dummy's out there who have not yet figured it out, do this.
Open the folder you want a list of the contents of in Windows Explorer,
Shift + Right Click the folder on the left of the screen and choose Open command window here. Then use "dir /b > list.txt" at the end of the string to create a Notebook text file containing your list.
The list will instantly appear in the folder.
Amazing. Thanks everyone.

Glad you got it to work. The old command prompt is still mightier than the mouse.

you need to elevate the cmd box, as described above go through the process until you find cmd.exe
then right click run as administrator, then follow the advice given to get the required output :)
