You can do this with a couple of keystrokes IF you get WinBatch, a great
collection
of utilities and tools (that I have found it's hard to live without). In any
case,
one of the goodies that comes with the program is a toolbox full of
odds-and-ends
that make life easier; one is a right menu choice that allows you to copy
whatever is
selected in an Explorer window to the clipboard - file names, paths,
whatever.
There is a free demo version of the full shareware product.

Subject: Windows NT Exploring--Help!
Hello, Everyone!
My problem this morning is one, I have no idea where to begin. My
supervisor, breezing through my office on his way to a meeting, briefly
asked
me to "capture the descriptions of the files (file names, dates of last
modification), and find a way to export those as ASCII text into Notepad."
Explorer Help gave me no indication of where to begin.
Has anyone out there any ideas on how to do this? Is it actually so simple
that I just can't see the forest for the trees?
