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

Folder with files
(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”

cmd

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

Change directory

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

cmd - Mark

Highlight your filelist

Highlighted Text

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

Paste the text
