What i mean is to make a text list of everything in a directory (or even subdirectories if possible!)? I want to make a list of my mp3 songs... i know there are 3rd party software (that's what i used back in Win9x), but is there an easier way with Win2k?

hey man, type in an MS-DOS prompt ... from the root DIR where your MP3 DIR's are in.

i.e.

all Mp3's and other stuff under c:\data\blabla\

open MS-DOS Prompt
type
c:
cd\
cd data
cd blabla
dir /b/s >c:\mp3stuff.txt

Note that win2k has no remnants of DOS. Its a Command Prompt. Its command are derived from DOS, but I assure you it is not DOS.

Am i missing something? DIR is a DOS command, so i don't know how you guys are doing this in Win2k.

Go to start->run, type cmd. Then you can do what they said above...Win2k does have a command line..it isn't DOS, but most DOS commands work.
