How to make a text file of the contents of a folder or directory
1) open up command prompt (DOS!)
2) change the drive (if necessary) by doing this:

c:\> cd f:

it should now be on the f: drive
3) to show the directory, type "dir"
to show a specific folder, do this:

f:\>dir f:\monkey

the contents of the monkey folder (hehe monkey folder) should appear on the screen
4) to make this into a txt file, do the same as step 3, but add this

>nameoffile.txt

so for the monkey folder, it becomes

f:\>dir f:\monkey >monkeyfolder.txt

this saves it to the main directory. if you want to save it to the folder itself, do thusly:

f:\>dir f:\monkey >f:\monkey\monkeyfolder.txt

sorry, just skip ahead to the next post and have a nice day/night/whatever
