Code for Only Getting Names:

Sub LoopThroughFiles()

Dim oFSO As Object
Dim oFolder As Object
Dim oFile As Object
Dim i As Integer

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

FolderName = Range("B2").Value

Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(FolderName)

For Each oFile In oFolder.Files

Cells(i + 1, 1) = oFile.Name

i = i + 1

Next oFile

End Sub

Code for Getting Names with Link:

Sub LoopThroughFilesWithLink()

Dim xRow As Long
Dim xDirect, xFname$, InitialFoldr$

InitialFoldr$ = "C:\" '<<< Startup folder to begin searching from

With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\"
.Title = "Please select a folder to list Files from"
.InitialFileName = InitialFoldr$
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count <> 0 Then
xDirect = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
sn = Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c dir " & xDirect & "/b/s").stdout.readall, vbCrLf)
i = 2
For Each d In sn
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(i, "A"), d
i = i + 1
Next d
End If
End With
End Sub
