    Nowhere else to ask, so here goes. I have a set of files in a folder, is there a way to pick up the names and paste them into an Excel spreadsheet?

      Try SAMenu from Smaller Animals. It will give you the full path of the selected files. http://www.smalleranimals.com/samenu.htm[^]

          TommyTomToms answer is [edit]probablydefinately more useful, but if you need to copy-and-paste from the dos window: 1. Right click 2. Select Mark 3.Drag a rectangle over the area you want to copy 4. hit "Enter" (not return). The area selected is copied into the clipboard.

                  Try the SendToX powertoy. When installed, right-click on your files and choose "SendTo >> Clipboard (as name)". Paste into excel - if you don't want the full path, a simple find and replace will help

                    I find it easier to enable the QuickEdit and Insert modes from the system menu for a command prompt window. Then you just have to select text, right click to copy to clipboard. A second right click will paste text from the clipboard to the command prompt. When you save the change, it prompts whether you want to save the change for the current window or modify the shortcut that launched the window. If you choose the second option, it saves the hassle of doing it every time you open a new window.

                        Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]
