Folder Contents-WIN XP Pro

[Matt8]

Is there anyway to like get a list of the folder contents that I could open in notepad or something similar?

I am using Windows XP Pro. Thanks

dir MyFolder > MyList.txt

This is what I get

Mabe try the full path

cd C:\
dir C:\My Documents\My Music > listing.txt

I did similar to that and it worked

Matt, I'm sorry; I guess I shouldn't have assumed you knew your way around the command prompt.

Do this:

First change to the root C:\ directory:

cd C:\

Then:

dir "My Documents\My Music" > list.txt

The text file will be saved to the C:\ directory.

Nope, I am not very skilled when it comes to that. I used to use it back it the DOS days, but that skill left me the day I got a win 98 computer

Ok, I got that down. There isn't anyway to do all subfolders is there? Or would I have to go one by one?

Try dir /s "My Documents\My Music" > list.txt

Thanks

(And I have to use "Documents and Settings\Matt\My Documents\My Music" to make it work)
