The above functionality is OS specific. Hence, we can't say how to do so until you tell us what OS you are on.

Hi Liat,
One approach is to use the Dir$() function in VB. A code snippet follows:
----------------------------------------
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim sNextFile As String
  2.  
  3. sNextFile = Dir$("C:\myFolder\*.ext")  ; Give a valid path within " "
  4.  
  5. While sNextFile <> ""                    ; exit condition checked
  6.     lstPictureList.AddItem sNextFile ; here a list box is populated; use print if you want
  7.     sNextFile = Dir$
  8. Wend
  9.  
------------------------------------------
