Default creating an XLS file from " files" data in a Folder

Edwin

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 All,

I have a number of files in a folder.

What I would like to do is create an XLS file as follows

1. Files in folder a- apple.pdf, orange.pdf, peach.pdf, tomato.pdf,

the XLS file I create automatically (based on files in the folder) would be
like this

A1: apple.pdf
B1: orange.pdf
C1: peach.pdf
D1: tomato.pdf

Is this possible to do ?

thanks in advance
