This is crude but free.

Use Run
Type CMD press enter
Type dir d:\ /b /s >c:\filename.txt
Where d:\ is your CD drive with newly created CD and c:\filename.txt is path
and filename for dump of text file names.

You can load the text file in notepad or open with word and run a search for
the filename you are interested in.

Repeat process for each CD.

One can take that one step further by adding Dir to the Right Click Context Menu. One could do this for drives or folders. I assembly what I'm going to burn on a disk then right click on the folder name then left click Dir to create a dir.txt file in my C:\temp\ folder which I then copy to the folder that I'm about to burn to cd. In this way I a handy quick reference on each disk & then one could rename the dir.txt to whatever the cd label is so you can archive the contents on your HD.

=========== begin copy =============

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Dir\command]
@="command.com /c dir /o /s >c:\\temp\\dir.txt"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Dir\command]
@="command.com /c dir /o/s >c:\\temp\\drivedir.txt"

========== end copy ===============

Feel free to copy the above & past it into notepad then save it out as dir.reg. Make sure you edit the paths if required.

If you want a darned good commercial app then I can't recommend anything better than SuperCat at <http://no-nonsense-software.com/supercat/> which KPL turned me on to many years ago.

FWIW I put the dir.txt on the CDs but I archive each disk with Supercat.
