    Hey all,


    Just wondering if anyone can tell me, is there any way I can get the names of all my folders in a certain place, turned into a word document, without having to resort to typing out the name of every folder one by one?


    I know its a bit odd, and I doub't there's an easy way out, but I'd really rather not have to type all folder names out if i can avoid it.



    Cheers :)

    Its easy to put a list together in a text file. You can then save the text file as a word doc.

    Press Windows Key and R
    In the Run dialog type 'cmd' and press return (no quotes)
    Change to the desired location that you want to list the directories using 'cd' eg cd C:\KKV\Music
    type 
    dir /A:D /B > my_list.txt
    Now you will have a text file called my_list.txt in the same location with a list of all your directories.
