All good suggestions. I usually refrain from suggesting the one's that
after use end up with subsequent replies 'How do I remove the path name
and just keep the file name?"

Is there a text editor that doesn't handle that with ease?


Most text editors will perform the task, probably a higher percentage
than the per cent of users that don't know how to perform the task.

Oh, I see what you mean!

Yep, there it is. I've been looking through the Start menu that Start8
makes available.

1. Select all the files, press and hold the shift key, then
right-click and select Copy as path.

This copies the list of file names to the clipboard.

Wow, I hadn't ever found that. I'll tell my (command-line phobic) wife
about that, it may do the trick for her - though I think she'd rather
have only the filenames and not the paths. Still...


5. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware utilities
that can do this, such as the popular

Once you have pasted it into notepad hit CTRL-H. Put the path in the
search box and leave the replace box blank. Hit replace all and the
paths will be stripped form the filenames.
