List of files in the current directory

I use DOS command:

dir filelist.txt

to get a list of the files in the current directory.

If the files are .jpg files, is there some way to also include the files' EXIF data (particularly the Date-Taken) in the file-list?

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: The "DIR command just *lists* files, it does not access them
in the slightest.

You could try using (something like) VBScript (standard available in XP) to
build your own file-list generator.

You'll need to find some other tools. This particular
one is a "classic", as it was all that was available
many years ago.

There are more tools available today.

OSes later than WinXP collect metadata from image files
and put it in the search index. Then, Windows Search provides
a limited set of search terms to access that information.

Picture

You can search for a number of image properties:

camera make
camera model
dimensions
orientation
date taken
width
height

Windows Search 4 was a WinXP era search indexing package
you could install as an option. I avoided this for some
reason. This article vaguely suggests DateTaken may be
available in there.

The procedure would be:

1) Backup WinXP using your favorite backup tool.
2) Install Windows Search 4. Marvel at the interface.
3) Enable indexing, make it index the drive.
4) Attempt a DateTaken search.
5) If you don't like the whole package, restore from your backup.

A procedure like that (backup and restore) is to ensure there are
no side effects from an experiment. Ir's probably not absolutely
necessary, but you never know.

You could find Windows Search 4 on a page like this.

I don't know, but TCC/LE has about 10 times the number of options that
any version of DOS or CMD does, so it might have this. And it's
free, and downloadable from the authors. Whether it works for this
or not, you should have it and enjoy it. JP Software

It does not.
