I have a library of folders, each containing many - sometimes hundreds of - subfiles. I would like to create a list of all of these folders and files in a spreadsheet, but I cannot seem to select them all in Explorer
Would anyone know how I can do this?
 
To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
this KB Article.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q272623&

Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features.

OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
Type DIR >MYFILES.TXT

All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Excel.

One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull directly to
Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering and
sorting once you have the data in Excel.

http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-ins>Directory Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

The KB article does not work with Win2K.
The Printfolder Utility works just fine. It is a bit of work though, because it only expands the folder one level, not all levels, so I have to use the utility for each folder in my prime folder.
Thanks very much for the detailed response to my question
