Copying filenames into a table

I'm sure this, or something like it has been asked recently but I can't find the relevant thread so apologies if this has already been covered.

It's about time I got round to sorting out all the zillions of photos and video clips I've got and to work out how to catalogue / tag them.

My smartarse other half is running Vista on her little used, leisure-use-only machine and has glibly pointed out how easy it is to tag all her photos, whereas I'm running XP on my almost-exclusively-for-business machine and have absolutely no intention of downgrading to Vista.

Does anyone know how I can copy all the filenames in any given folder and paste them as text in Word/Excel/Access, and thence add the tags I'd like to ? Ideally I'd like to include a thumbnail and/or a shortcut in the table as well but I guess that might be asking too much?

Any ideas please folks?

Thanks in advance
