shrug-l: Off topic question - Windows Explorer

[Valentina Boycheva]

I agree that the Windows Explorer lacks basic functionality. What you want
is easily accomplished with a wonderful freeware utility, which will install
itself as an Explorer extension and act on right-click. See

http://home.arcor.de/we/wegzumziel/download/dmexinfo.htm. 

I am using it all the time and it saves me tons of time and frustration. Let
me know if you need additional help with the installation or use.

I'm sorry to pose this question here - please forgive me, but I think maybe
someone out there has done this. I can't find the answer anywhere else!

We have all our old jobs stored on CDs - about a zillion of them. How can we
make a quick list of what is on each CD so we can search for it by job name?
You know - when I open Windows Explorer I want to simply click "copy" to
copy the LIST OF CONTENTS and then "paste" into Excel (or whatever). Then I
can add a column to equal the CD number - do you see what I mean? 

I just know there has to be an easier way than for one of us to sit and type
each file name into Excel (or whatever) or - what we have been doing -
loading a CD, is the job there? No? OK - load the next CD, is it there? That
is not very efficient. 

Thank you,
