Default Putting "My Music" file in Excel 2003

My Music is afolder, not a file.

Do you want a list of files from that folder into Excel?

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

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.

Hello,
It has been a while since I have used Excel, but I thought all you had to
do was open the file you wanted to put in the spreadsheet and just edit the
info you wanted. I have oped the "My Music" file, but nothing happens. What
I'm I doing wrong. Thanks for any help you can give me.
