That doesn't seem to work from the Explorer address bar in Windows 10. It just opens the default browser and searches for "dir | c:\windows\system32\clip" - and to make matters worse, it searches with Bing! 
I guess I should be grateful that they're honouring my default browser, even if they're going to ignore my default search engine.

Thank you for your Feedback.
W7, private Laptop: Ok
W8.1, Company Desktop: Same what you reported 
W10: not tested...
I think there will be some tricks to make it work also for W8/10

Yes, I remember that and have started using it quite a bit! I think I missed the post on the "clip" thing though. Thanks for reposting!

You can go direct to the clipboard - dir | clip will do it.
But I agree, it's a bit poor all round.
There are apps out there to do it - and it's simple enough to add one of your own!

Unintentionally - but you don't need the path (and it works in all versions since Vista)

On my W7 it does not work wothout path. But this most probably because I mixed up the path by myself.

Dang, I knew there was one or two more absurd steps I could add.

From Windows Explorer.
Open the folder you which to copy your list of files from.
Select all the files you want included.
Hold down Shift and right click.
Select Copy as path.
I don't remember where I found this, but it will copy the list of files and their path to the clipboard. Once pasted into a text editor, or whatever, you will see something like this.
"C:\Users\<user>\Pictures\File1.gif"
"C:\Users\<user>\Pictures\File2.jpg"
"C:\Users\<user>\Pictures\File3.png"
"C:\Users\<user>\Pictures\File4.jpg"
"C:\Users\<user>\Pictures\File5.jpg"
Note, this is not recursive. It will not dig into sub-folders. It will only copy the path of visible and selected files/folders. I also do not know if it will work with Windows 10.

I believe the problem is that you should be using MS Excel for this type of stuff.
I'm pretty sure the Excel Database handles this properly.
It will also allow you to turn the output into a web page which is perfect for emailing to your friends.

So, Lotus Notes isn't recommended?
