That doesn't seem to work from the Explorer address bar in Windows 10. It just opens the default browser and searches for "dir | c:\windows\system32\clip" - and to make matters worse, it searches with Bing! :doh: I guess I should be grateful that they're honouring my default browser, even if they're going to ignore my default search engine.

From Windows Explorer. Open the folder you which to copy your list of files from. Select all the files you want included. Hold down Shift and right click. Select Copy as path. I don't remember where I found this, but it will copy the list of files and their path to the clipboard. Once pasted into a text editor, or whatever, you will see something like this. "C:\Users\\Pictures\File1.gif" "C:\Users\\Pictures\File2.jpg" "C:\Users\\Pictures\File3.png" "C:\Users\\Pictures\File4.jpg" "C:\Users\\Pictures\File5.jpg" Note, this is not recursive. It will not dig into sub-folders. It will only copy the path of visible and selected files/folders. I also do not know if it will work with Windows 10.

I believe the problem is that you should be using MS Excel for this type of stuff. I'm pretty sure the Excel Database handles this properly. It will also allow you to turn the output into a web page which is perfect for emailing to your friends. :laugh:

a.) Open your Directory in Windows Explorer b.) In the adress bar type e.g.
dir | c:\windows\system32\clip
or instead of dir, also tree or what else. This will pipe the Output to clipboard :) And in case sys32 is in the path it becomes also a little bit shorter command ;) Bruno [Edit] The basics for this I learned here at CP. What I remember is, it was also in the Lounge when somebody described that one can Launch cmd directly by the adress bar in the Windows Explorer. :-O [Edit 1] Finally I found the source: https://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&select=5367179&fr=5076#xx0xx posted by [virang_21 - Professional Profile](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=6555380)

Yes, I remember that and have started using it quite a bit! I think I missed the post on the "clip" thing though. Thanks for reposting! Marc

Using that you can't see what is listed. You have to use
dir /b >files.txt & type files.txt
instead :)
dir /b | more
