Printing lists

I think my old thread has expired.

When I do a search, I get a list of files. How do I convert that list into
a text file which I can import into Excel?

When I do "ctrl-alt-del" I get a list of tasks. How do I convert that list
into a text file which I can import into Excel?

Last time I only asked about printing, and the answer I got was "screen
print" and then put into "Paint." But I can also put a screen capture into
Notepad or Word and print out a picture of the screen. If the list is on
more than one screen, I have to do that for each screen.

How do I print out -- or convert to a text file -- the whole list?

Most of these lists cannlot be cut and pasted.

Plus, there are lots of other tools that provide lists wehich cannot be cut
and pasted. It seems unreasonable that Microsoft would not provide a way to
use these lists outside the tools, but I haven't found it yet.

Application with ability to filter file list and copy the result to the
Windows XP clipboard. From the clipboard the list can be pasted in Excel
or other applications.

Thanks all! I'll try all. And thanks for "exposing" me to Googol Groups!
