With Python, there so many ways to do this however, this one is the simplest i know.
Please check the comments for the specifics of the output.
from os import listdir
list = listdir("C:\Users\Hello\World\Python Programs")
print list #Outputs the whole list
print len(list) #Checks for the length of the list
print list[26] #Outputs a specific element in the list
Good luck!

Might want to be careful with backslashes in paths as they conflict with string escape characters.

Therefore, put "r" before the string:
list = listdir(r"C:\Users\Hello\World\Python Programs")

Umm... answering your own question is encouraged if you figure out the answer in the meantime, but... why are you acting as if you're two people? (e.g., w/ "Good luck!")

@MuMind, well, the good luck is just an expression which shouldn't be a matter to how the question is answered. :) if you want, you can edit the answer and remove it. :)
