Want a program to create a list of my files

dir /s
lists current and all child folder contents

Not exactly what I expected, Word Man. :)

I have 22,183 files on this computer, 99.44 percent of which are unrecognizable to me because they're just numbers/code.

I don't think this is what the OP wanted at all.

If OP is more specific, Wynona, I can be more specific.

How about the whole c: drive, listed on desktop in a text file?

dir /s c:\ > "%userprofile\desktop\cdrivefiles.txt"

[This yields a 24.4 MB text file to my desktop! ]

and many more variations available as described by the output of "dir/?"

Depends on the end use whether command prompt will suffice or whether a "program" is needed.

It's not actually the case, as asserted by OP, that:

nights said:

...command prompt to do this, but it only works on the current folder...

WizTree's not bad for a free program: http://antibody-software.com/web/index.php?ref=wiztree Perhaps that's the kind of response OP was looking for? Your guess may be better than mine unless OP responds to specify.

No problem, nights. You're welcome.
