Importing file names from Windows Explorer

[gbenkler]

How would I go about doing a group import of a list of file names from Windows Explorer into a column on an Excel spreadsheet?

For example, one of the folders on my PC contains a list of 22 files. If I want to make an accurate copy of the file name, I must right click it, select Rename, ctrl-C, flip over to the excel spreadsheet, enter the cell where I want the file name and ctrl-V. That is OK for one or two, but a pain soon after.

What I would love to be able to do would be to be able to run and extract macro, or some how be able to pull all of them in at once.

Any help or suggestions sincerely appreciated.

Sub test()
Dim myFolder As String, fn As String, temp As String, x
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    If .Show = True Then
        myFolder = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
End With
fn = Dir(myFolder & "*.*")
Do While fn <> ""
    temp = temp & vbLf & myFolder & fn
    fn = Dir
Loop
If Len(temp) Then
    x = Split(Mid(temp,2), vbLf)
    Range("a1").Resize(UBound(x) + 1).Value = x
Else
    MsgBox "No file"
End If
End Sub
