How to print a list of files from a Windows directory
Click on Start, then Run. In the run dialogue box type cmd and click OK.
This will open a DOS prompt usually pointing to your users My Documents folder in Documents and Settings.
If you wanted to get to a folder called Movies on your E drive then you would type:
E: and then “cd Movies“. This is demonstrated in the image below.
To create the list then type “dir > movielist.txt” naming the text file anything you want. If you want to only export the file names without the file size details then use “dir /b > movielist.txt“. The movielist.txt file will be within the directory it has listed.
