Hi,

Not sure I've understood you, but do you want a listing of all the
filenames in a folder/directory?

(1) If you have Windows, start a Command Prompt and type

dir

then press the Return key. You'll see a list of filenames.

You may need to change to a different drive or directory
to get the listing you want - use the cd command.

(2) Then type

dir > list.txt

and press the Return key. This creates a simple text file containing the
files listed in (1) above, which you can edit in a word processor.

HTH,

David
