    If you're using Windows 11, instead of using '/d' in the command, use '/b'. For example:
    dir /b > list.txt
    Microsoft changed the way dir commands function in Windows 11 and you now have to use the /b tag to generate a list that's easy to paste into Excel. Using /d will end up with a wrapped list with two filenames per row instead of one, which makes pasting into Excel a CHORE to the point where it'd be more time-efficient to just manually go through each file and rename them yourself in file explorer. If you use /b, it will generate a list formatted the same way as the list that's used in this video.

    Thank you so much for this! FYI it also works with items in sub-directories I had 17,000 files from a crashed hard drive that were all named Thumb1 2 or 3. They were all in different folders but until I used this with the directory path and file name I was going to have to manually change all the names. This saved me HOURS & HOURS of time to recover these pictures of my kids. Thank you!

    For those who are getting two columns instead of a single column, type in: dir /b => filename.txt
    This worked better for me.

    I used this to remove the "(2) - Copy" from all files after separating the originals to a different folder. Excel was perfect for this becasue the formula makes it much easier for different file types too.
    Pro Tip: I had to do this in a Network folder I could not cd into. In that case, add a column for filepath to go in the equation and it will work the same if you have write access.
    Example:
    a new column for filepath = 'V:\user\home
    enamedFiles\'
    I placed this in the E column
    then equation becomes: =D2&" """&E2&A2&""" """&C2&B2&""""

    amazing, very useful.....only one problem i have faced is in the video you said to type "dir/d=>filename.txt" it creates file but in that, file names have no order or not came one by one, it came infront of each other..... so i tried /b insted of /d and i got proper results. (i did it blindly) can you pls explain what is reason behind that??

      hit ctrl + F
      click on "Replace" and set these values:
      Find what: *.
      Replace with: .
      then just click replace all (this will set the default value to this)
      Then if you want to continue, just highlight the cells and hit ctrl + R to get the same effect since default values are set.
