1. Click on the Start button, select Run.
2. In the Run dialog box type command.
3. A command prompt should appear.
4. Type ipconfig /all.
5. If you receive an error stating, "'IPCONFIG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" type c:\windows\system32\ipconfig /all. The Ethernet Address will be listed as the Physical Address.

1. Open up dos (run>cmd)

2. Type cd c:\path\to\music\folder
this will Change Directory to your music folder

3. Then type dir > music.txt
this will write the directory listing to music.txt

(type dir /b/on/s *.mp3 >> whatever.txt

get rid of *.mp3 if you want to list all files

type dir /? and you can figure out your own customization if you want)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Next, you need to type a DOS command to generate the file list. For example, if you would like to generate a list of all files in the root directory of drive D, type the following at the command prompt and press Enter:

dir d:\

To list the files in a particular directory, add the directory name after the drive:

dir d:\my files\

The file names will be listed in the window. Usually, you'll want these files to be sent to a file. To redirect the output to a file, use the > character and specify a file name. For example, to send the file names to a text file named filelist.txt  in the root directory of drive C, use this command:

dir d:\ >c:\filelist.txt

If you would like the file list to include the files in all subdirectories of drive D, use the /s switch:

dir d:\ /s >c:\filelist.txt

The directory listing will contain lots of additional information. To get the file names only (bare format), use the /b switch:

dir d:\ /s /b >c:\filelist.txt

To find out about other options available for the DIR command (such as including file dates and times), type this command:

dir /?

After the text file is generated, you can import it into Excel by using the File - Open command.
