I would like to make a list of files in Notepad or M$ Word. Is there away of doing this with just a couple clicks of the mouse? It would be a pain doing this manually for 200 or so files.

Cheers!

From a command prompt:

DIR [path of dir containing files] > [path of text file you want to create]

e.g.

DIR c:\windows\*.* > c:\listofwindowsfiles.txt

Then open the "c:\listofwindowsfiles.txt" file in notepad.

To get a command prompt, click "Start", then "Run..", then type "cmd" (without the quotes), then click "OK".

You beat me to it. :o Also if you need the list of files including all subdirectories use DIR /S and if you don't want all the other information such as size, etc use DIR /B and if you want in alphabetic order DIR /O:N. You can combine the switches also such as DIR /B/O:N/S for brief listing, alphabetical order and all sub directories.

If the files are under different directories but not sub directories after you make the first list with the > control you can add to this file other lists by using >> instead. This appends the list to the end of the file.

Try Tracker it is a file explorer like the Windows one,

but with the very useful facility of being able to cut and paste file information.
