This is not really a XSL question, as XSL doesn't know anything about files, directories or the file system. You could use a simple script (JavaScript, VB,...) which builds a simple XML file <files> <file>foo.xml</file> <file>bar.xml</file> ... <files> and process this with XSLT into the desired index page, perhaps accessing title and some other data from the XML file referred to with the document() function, or you could build an in-memory DOM tree for instant use, or produce the desired HTML directly (less recommended). Looking up info in the FileSystemObject is useful for this task if you want to do this from the IEx browser. Other tools, like traditional Unix shells provided for example by Cygwin on the windows plattform, have direct access to the file system.
