just navigate in dos to directory listing
/p /w = page and width
right click on DOS window and select MARK
highlight text press ENTER and then open word/notepad/email and paste

right
in a folder window navigate to the diryou want a list of, copy the address
then in dos window click the little "C:\" in the top left menu
edit
paste
edit the pasted line to read
cd\ followed by the dir you want a list of, press enter dos should be in the dir now
then type
dir > list.txt
this will generate a text file of all the files in that folder,
I'm no expert but it works and is how i do itin work, there is probably an easier way

thanks have done it throught the dos window, who would of thought that you still need to use dos to get a directory listing.
k33ts dos window is also called commend prompt in the accessories section of windows.

Go to the Start menu, and click on 'run'. Type in cmd.
When you've finished, either type exit or just close the window with the top-right 'x' icon.
