I was going to ask this exact same question a few days ago. For a different reason, though.

Not really. For me:

- I can't fit all the files/folders on one screen to take a screen-shot.
- You can only screen shot the top folders/files, not the folders/files inside those folders.
- I want text, not an image.

Nah thought of that, it would consist of three separate screens, if feel a text document would be simpler imo but if there is no other way.

Here's an Autohotkey script:

Code:

;Change next two lines if needed
path = C:\Movies
outfile = C:\list.txt

Loop, %path%\*, 1, 0
    FileAppend, %A_LoopFileName%`r`n, %outfile%

Success, Yep the command prompt is life I now realise, easy too.  Thanks to .Sup, liquidator and san4 for the suggestions. Thread can be closed at mod's discretion.

There's a couple of ways but the simplest is to just go to your windows\system32 folder and copy the cmd.exe file to the folder that you wish to use it in. Run it from there and it it will work.

Btw, use dir /B > filelist.txt if you want to get rid of all the jargon and just have the file names in the txt file.

The easiest way I know of to open a command prompt in a particular folder is to install the "Open Command Window Here" powertoy from Microsoft. It's a free utility that lets you right-click on any folder and start a command window there.

You can do it with media files using winamp. Load them into it and save the playlist as a txt file.

Wouldn't loading so many files lag the whole PC?

Depends how many you load, but winamp can be a memory hog yeah.

It's just a dirty way of doing it which I've used in the past. lol

Just importing them in to the library wouldn't do anything.
