Hello friends, You may face some situation where you need all the file names from a large folder which contains hundreds and even thousands of files. If you are worried about manually copying each file, here I came with a simple solution for you. Just follow the steps.


Here I have created a folder with name "test" containing 20 other txt files whose names I want to store in another file. So follow these steps:

1. Go to the directory where the files are placed, in my case it's "test" folder.

2. Hold "Shift" key and right click anywhere on blank screen, select "Open command prompt here".


3. Enter the command as below,

dir /b /o:n >filenames.txt

    - Replace filenames.txt with any name you want as output file.

4. Now all file names will be copied into desired text file.


5. If you want to store all file names with their directory links, just enter following command,

dir /b /o:n /s >filenames.txt

6. All file names will be in desired file with their directory links.


Note: You can create the file with any format, such as to create .pdf file with all file names in specific directory, just replace filenames.txt with filenames.pdf
