Say I have a folder of picture files. I want to take the names of those files, and insert them into a text document (just the names). Back in win95, I used to know a way to select them and just paste the names into documents (catalog command or something like that). I'll be darned if I can remember how I did it though...Anybody know how to do this without typing out 400 file names?

 

I've always done it with the dir listing but I'm a DOS throwback

Highlight the files you want, right mouse click and do Send to clipboard as name. In your document, just do a paste and the full file name will be listed.

 

Which can be found here is you install powertoys

Yeah, I forgot about installing that, considering it was 3 years ago.

Edit - I was looking at the send to at that site. It is not the original Microsoft power toy which I am using. Unfortunately, so far I have not found it at the MS site. It is not in the group of XP power toys, and I can't remember when I downloaded it whether it was a 95, 98, or win 2000 power toy.

 

Here are the Windows 95 power toys. The "send to" files have the same date as what I am using on XP.
