Your subject line states "convert all the files to xls" but your body asks for
just a listing of the files.
I am going with the latter.
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...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-insDirectory Listing.
Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

Hi!
I have nearly 5000 files in a directory and i need to have a data base of
all the files that I have in that particular directory in excel. How can i do
that. Is there any possible way to just convert it from that folder directly
