[Trainer-talk] Extracting a list of file names

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

So, let me make sure I'm correct.
I'm on a Windows 7 machine.
I should type in the command line:

cd c:\users\sgreenlaw\my documents
Then hit the Enter key. Right? Is that when I do
dir /b >files.txt

All help is truly appreciated!
