zip

I post a lot of zip files on forums to trade information with my fellow gamers, programmers, internetards and what have you. As such, I like to tell them what the zip contains. Now the title of this post is a bit of a misnomer as I haven’t really created the zip yet… but I figured it would be just as helpful. The only extra step you would have in doing an actual zip file would be to extract the files to a folder but enough of the intro, lets dive in.

Step one: Have a folder with the files you want to list

(Whats with your image icons d00d? My images are associated with irfanview)

Step two: Open the Command prompt.

Do this by going to start -> Run… and typing in “cmd”

Step three: Navigate to your folder with “cd” (change directory) and list the files without any attributes using “dir /b”

Step four: Right click anywhere in the black and choose, “Mark“, this allows you to highlight the outputted text.

Highlight your filelist

When you right click again, the text is copied to your clipboard and you can paste it anywhere you’d like
