So, I unzipped this into its own directory C:\Filelist, when I double click on the App file, I get a brief shot of a DOS box, then the program closes. So, I email the auther who replied as at the bottomof this query. Now, pardon my ignorance, but do I Make a Batchfile with FILELIST Path [>list.csv] as the one and only line in it, to get it to work? Thanks......John. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FileList is a command line utility that produces a list of files of the given path in the CSV format, which can be imported in a spreadsheet or database. FILELIST Path [>list.csv] Using > the output can be redirected to a file. Just place FileList.exe where you want, we recommend your Windows folder. Best regards,	John W (523)

The programme can be run without it, but it might go on for a long time if you have a lot of files. :D If you give the redirection > and a filename, the programme's output goes to file, not the screen. Try (in a "Command prompt" window, "filelist c:\windows\temp > myfiles.txt". (Pick a small directory) Then have a look at the output file with Notepad or something. Try it without the redirection too. (the "[" and "]" in the example means "optional".Then try "c:\" as the path. It might give you the enormous list.	Graham L (2)
