cd "my photos"

Answer 2

if you open up the command prompt,

START BUTTON, RUN.. type cmd

browse to the folder that you want to record the files/folders in it.

type the following information

dir > file.txt

it will send the directory command and output it to a file called file.txt in your present working directory.

Then take the txt file and just copy and paste it into word.

Hope this helps
