Not without a little utility program AFAIK.
Then again, Windows has a Search facility...

Or if you were too lazy to download something, Start > Run > Cmd > Dir works just fine ![:p](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)

RE: fast way to make a list of files on a dvd/cd
dir is good, but not quite as user-friendly or customizable...
![:o](images/smilies/msn_surprised.gif) I just checked the help and found out that you can make it list subdirectories with the /S switch... ![:banana:](images/smilies/banana.gif)

RE: fast way to make a list of files on a dvd/cd
Better yet... this command:
dir c:\music /s > c:\files.txt
where 'dir' is the command, 'c:\music' the drive\directory, '/s' option to show also the subdirectories, '>' option to send the results to a file, 'c:\files.txt' the file to be created for the results.

RE: fast way to make a list of files on a dvd/cd
dir c:\music /S/B >> c:\files.txt
/B produces an output like:
c:\autoexect.bat
c:\config.sys
c:\windows\fonts\onyx.ttf
c:\windows\fonts\papyruss.ttf
c:\windows\system\driver.dll
c:\windows\system\funnybunny.dll
c:\windows\temp\blahblah.tmp
c:\windows\temp\helloworld.txt
in other words, without all the dir info crap...
>> instead of simply ">", will add the listings to the file. ">" will overwrite the file...
--------
But there are indeed very user friendly database-like programs which do exactly the same (although I never found one I personaly liked; every program I've found, tried, had one or two things I didn't like. So in the end I used the good old DOS commands too. And they work excellent for this stuff)

is there a way that i can have it show the length of songs? ( like the time of each song in the folder?)
same for movies
