[Trainer-talk] Extracting a list of file names

[T.Reid]

An easy way to accomplish this in Win 7:

In the Windows Explorer view ()My Computer navigate to the folder and
select the files that you want to copy.

Press Shift Applications Key
Choose Copy As Path 

Now you can easily paste where you like.

Hope that helps!

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!
