From the command prompt (Start Run Cmd.exe), simply change to the
desired directory and type "dir filelist.txt" or "dir lpt1," just as
you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR command (type "dir
/?") will work with this command, if you wish to modify the output. You
can then subsequently edit the resulting text file using NotePad, WordPad,
Word, etc.

Thanks. I did see that and may give it a try, though I'm a bit reticent
about modifying the registry.

Thank you.
Been I long time since I DOS'ed anything.

I asked for all sub folders and no individual files, but didn't realize that
was still going to be overkill.
Is there a command that would maybe print just one subfolder from the
directory I'm changed to ?

Such as:
My Documents\My Music
My Documents\My Pictures
etc.

Omit the /s switch and you will get the folder list from the current
directory only:

dir /b /a:d c:\dirlist.txt


Also, is the a:d requesting also those drives also ? It only printed the C
stuff, but a and d were not being used at the time ?

No, /a is the attribute switch, it tells DIR to only return objects or
files with certain attributes, and "d" is the "Directory" attribute, it
instructs DIR to only return directory listings. As another poster
noted, you can get help on the command by using the /? switch:

dir /?

Thank you , that's what I was looking for.

One last DOS question, if you don't mind.

I'm trying to change directories ,via the CD command, to my external hard
drives, but it doesn't seem to be working.

such as from main command prompt C:\Documents and Settings\Steve
cd:\my documents goes to that directory , but my externals G:\ and
N:\ I can't get cd to recognize.
In Explorer, they are showing as:

My Book Essential (G) and
My Book (N)

Thanks again,

You don't switch drives with CD

Simply type g: or n:

That will take you to the drive. Then you can use CD to switch to
whatever folder you want in the drive.
