Hi All

i was wondering if someone could please help me with a small query that
I have.

In one of my folders, i have a lot of music files. Is it possible to
put together a list of the music that i have, without actually having a
music file in the list.

Any help would be muchly appreciated

Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best.

To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
this KB Article.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q272623&

Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features.

OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
Type DIR >MYFILES.TXT

All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Notepad or Excel.

One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull directly to
Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering and
sorting once you have the data in Excel.

http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-ins>Directory Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

Hi Gord

Thanks for your help.

I tries your recommended way, but it didn't print off what I wanted.
However, whenever I now double click to open a folder, Windows Explorer
comes up instead. When i right click on the folder, Explore is set as
default and not Open. Is this a result of me adding the Print Listing
Function?

Do you happen to know how I can change it back so that Open is set as
default and when I doulbe click, it opens up the folder?

Many thanks in advance for your help

I showed you 4 methods>

Which did you use.

I would assume the "Print Directory" method.

You obviously missed a step or misstepped a step if you didn't get what you
wanted.

I have never had any setting for double-click on a folder that didn't open
that folder in Windows Explorer.

What did a double-click do for you prior to adding the Print Directory
command?

In order to add the Print Directory command to your right-click menu, you had
to go into Tools>Folder Options>File Types and make changes there.

Backtrack your steps to see what you missed.

Not true.

Folders double-clicked do not open in Windows Explorer, they open in their own
window.

Sorry about that mis-direction.
