Happy Face 29 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I need help from you technical boffins. If I've got a folder that contains a few thousand sub-folders, and I need a list of those folder names in text. How can I get it? Please say I don't have to write out every folder name individually.

Jimbo 175 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Use Windows explorer, press the windows key and E at the same time and it will magically appear. If you explore your folders using that and you will get them listed in text form in the address bar at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
