    When you say EXTRACT, do you mean open or doing something else with them. What sort of files are they?

    Not too clear but maybe you want the list of files from a folder imported to a
    list in an Excel worksheet.

    If so.......................

    Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best if importing to
    Excel.

    To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
    this KB Article.

    http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;q272623&

    Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

    http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

    I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom
    features.

    OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
    Type DIR >MYFILES.TXT

    All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Notepad or
    Excel.

    One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull
    directly to Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering
    and sorting once you have the data in Excel.

    http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-ins>Directory
    Listing.

    Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.
