    Making a Document List
    In Vista HP, is there any way to create a WP doc (I'm now using wps./Works) with the names of all documents from the document list in a particular folder found under "Documents" in the start menu? The docs themselves are not WP files. Thanks.

    jstrike
    Open a command prompt/DOS window.
    Type cd\"Documents and Settings\your login name\My Documents"
    Substitute your login name with the name you use to login to the computer.
    Type dir *.* >myfiles.txt
    Type exit. You'll be returned to windows.
    Look in the My Documents folder and open the myfiles.txt with Works.

    If you print a listing of directory contents often you can use a great free little utility: Karen's Directory Printer
