Copy a file list as text from Windows Explorer [closed]
In Windows 7 and later, this will do the trick for you
- Select the file/files.
- Hold the shift key and then right-click on the selected file/files.
- You will see Copy as Path. Click that.
- Open a Notepad file and paste and you will be good to go.
The menu item Copy as Path is not available in Windows XP.
If you paste the listing into your word processor instead of Notepad,(since each file name is in quotation marks with the full path name), you can highlight all the stuff you don't want on the first file, then use Find and Replace to replace every occurrence of that with nothing. Same with the ending quote (").
It makes a nice clean list of file names.
