    Printing File Contents to an Excel Spreadsheet

    I did a small search here and on the internet thats yielded a couple results.

    I was just wondering if anyone knows a sure fire way that I can list the contents of my music folder (K:\Music) on an excel spreadsheet?

    Please and thanks

    In the command window (DOS), you can do a

    dir > mymusic.txt

    then open the mymusic.txt with Excel

    I'm running windows 7, whenever I do the dir > mymusic.txt I get access denied.

    in the cmd prompt, I can get it to go to C, but it won't let me ** K:\Music to my music directory

    I tried numerous google search results.

    This seems to be the closest I got only because it actually listed the headings, but no files before I get an error

    Do I change every C:\ to K:\Music?
