re Make copy of list of files in a folder in Explorer

[taurarian]

I don't know whether this will assist. What I did was
create a .bat file in notepad as such:-
DIR/ON/S>c:\"DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\name of user\MY
DOCUMENTS"\LISTING.TXT

Substituting "name of user" for the "user account name
being my name" "C" for the drive letter. Basically I am
just printing a directory listing and sending it to a
file. Then I copy the .Bat file into the folder I want and
double click it and it sends an editable list of the files
to Listing.txt in my documents folder which I can edit.

There are many ways to print out the list.

Your example won't work because your inverted commas are in the wrong =
place. You cut and pasted that path but forgot to move the inverted =
commas.

DIR/ON/S>"c:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\name of user\MY =
DOCUMENTS\LISTING.TXT"

Also this will work for any user.

DIR/ON/S>"%userprofile%\MY DOCUMENTS\LISTING.TXT"

Type set to get a listing of variables.

Thanks for the correction David, I did just cut and paste
my file.
