Hi is there anyway i can export all file i have in a folder to a text file or spread sheet? Thanks.
 
Start/Run type CMD and hit enter. Change directory until you arrive at the directory you wish to get a listing of documents from.

Then type dir and press enter.

On the upper left hand corner of the screen left click and choose Edit/Select all.

Go back to that menu and select Edit/Copy, then you can paste the directory listing into word, notepad, or whatever else you want.

I'm at least guessing that is what you're asking, if not just correct me!
 
Or Start>Run>CMD. Navigate to the relevant directory and type "dir > c:\list.txt" (without the ""). This does the job without having to copy & paste.
