intro
see Chron link, this works for Win 8
From windows explorer: "Shift" key, right-click the folder and select "Open Command Window Here."
Type "dir /b > dirlist.txt" without quotes and press "Enter." This creates a list containing file names only.
To include file sizes and dates, type "dir > dirlist.txt"
To include files in sub-directories, type "dir /b /s > dirlist.txt" to create a list of files with the full directory structure name, such as "C:\folder\subdirectory\file.txt."
this file will be in the same folder as I right-clicked. Copy it to a spreadsheet
