Hi,

Try this with the path changed to your required path

Sub LoopThroughDirectory()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Change this to your directory
MyPath = "C:\"
activefile = Dir(MyPath & "*.xls")
Do While activefile < ""
If UCase(Left(activefile, 1)) = "W" Then
Cells(Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1, 1) = activefile
End If
activefile = Dir()
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
