    Storage File C and D

    Hi Anthony

    You have a 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD on your PC, the best possible setup that will give you the most space on C for that type of system is as follows:

    1.

    Move all your User Library folders to D:

    Open Windows File Explorer

    In the right hand pane, right click your Documents folder and choose Properties

    Select the Location tab

    In the Location box, type D:\Documents then click Apply and Ok

    When that move completes, do the same for Pictures, Videos and Music

    Each time, provide a new folder location, for example, Pictures will go to D:\Pictures

    2.

    Move the location of all future content downloaded from the Microsoft Store

    Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

    Go to System - Storage - Change where new content is saved:

    Change all options you find there to D

    3.

    If you are a Steam Gamer

    Stop all processes associated with Steam

    Move the Steam folder to your D drive manually

    Then open the Steam Control Panel and point that to the new location

    4.

    Please Note: this should ideally be done before you begin installing any software

    For 3rd party applications, some will allow you to choose an installation location, for those, create a new Program files folder on your D drive, then for each application, create a new sub-folder of that folder

    Other 3rd party applications will not allow you to change the installation location, and there is no safe way to move those to your D drive . . .

    Storage, Move C files to D file

    Gathering Names Of Multiple Files

    Try this snippit in a batch file:

    You have to specify where to go with the batch file, which is what the cd command is for. Then, once the prompt is in that directory, the last command lists all of the files (including directories) in the list_of_files.txt text file, since dir is a command, not the directory location. *Smile Storage, Move C files to D file :)

    Edit: Also, if your directory has spaces, you may have to put the directory in quotes, such as:
