Is there a program to create a document based on the files in a directory?
I am wanting to find a program for XP that will create a txt or xls file that lists all the files in a given directory. I have many files that i keep on many dif cd's, and I would like to have all these put into a document so i don't have to reload every cd if im' not sure if i have that file or not. Thanks

If you don't need anything fancy, just redirect the dir command to a text file.
"dir *.* > listing.txt" will create a file called listing.txt with all of the files in the directory. |

wow, very interesting. I didn't know that command existed. I can use this, but if anyone has any other program, that could be used in excel, basically anything that can be sorted alphabetically, that would be better. thanks.

You can import a text file into excel and sort away...
